Critical viewing skills are also emphasized, and students engage in critiques of professional and peer work on a regular basis. Students may take up to 12 credits of their media electives outside of the School of Art with approval of their advisors and based on availability of that course to nonmajors. Screenings of student work are held at the end of each semester and are open to the public. Postings for national competitions and other opportunities are kept current on the bulletin boards around the media production classrooms in the School of Art. Students are encouraged to engage in internships and may take up to 6 of their media elective credits as internship experiences.
Internships are possible both locally and nationally.
Some students have spent a semester or summer away interning with companies on the East or West coast and are encouraged to save funds so that they can partake in these opportunities as part of their educational experience.
