Creative Media
Maybe you’re the one your family and friends always call when they need someone to capture the moment—whether it’s at family gatherings, sports games, or just a fun hangout. Maybe you’ve spent hours creating graphics on ProCreate, crafting Instagram stories that catch eyes, or writing blog posts and social media captions that actually mean something. Maybe you’ve been blogging, writing, or telling stories through social media and journalism, and you’re ready to turn those creative habits into something bigger.
At Corban, the creative media concentration helps you sharpen those talents—whether it’s photography, design, video, writing, or storytelling—and build a meaningful career that makes a real impact. You’ll grow into a strategic, confident creative leader with doors wide open in so many industries.
Learn from faculty with real-world experience in branding, design, content creation, writing, video production, and digital storytelling. From day one, you’ll dive into projects that matter, sharpening your craft and growing your confidence. At Corban, you’ll learn to navigate feedback with maturity, think critically about the messages you shape, and steward your creativity in a Christ-centered community where craft and calling grow together.
