Media Studies, offered through the College of Communications is, like all of our majors, a two- year program students can enter upon achieving junior standing.
Communications is a flourishing field that permeates all of our social institutions.
The Media Studies Program introduces students to this dynamic arena, beyond the traditional major streams that journalism and advertising cover. Students approach Media Studies topics by examining their histories and their practical goals. The development of communications media is considered in light of more general concerns about technology, culture, society, and politics. The program incorporates the study of contemporary mass communications and telecommunications with related theoretical considerations. It is designed for students whose interests in communications are focused on broad background issues involving the origins, structures, and implications of the media.
