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. The University of Illinois began the program in 1984 and is one of just two universities in the state that awards a bachelor's degree specifically in Media Studies.
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.
