CARIMAC offers both theoretical and practical courses to equip our students with the professional knowledge, values and discipline they need to become effective communicators in an increasingly complex world.

CARIMAC graduates are trained for professional work in print, radio, video, multimedia and public relations. While we do not pretend to produce instant professional or technical experts, we believe our graduates leave with professional attitudes backed by a sound intellectual framework with which to apply their skills.
