Documentary Field Work Develops advanced skills in documentary inquiry and practice. Course is organized around the design and development of individual or group documentary projects in selected media. Advanced Electronic Media Production Students explore the convergence of video and digital media while studying the problems of constructing narrative and documentary texts within emerging experimental formats. Through their research-production projects, students learn to work with more advanced visual and organizational concepts. Legal and ethical issues involved in media production are considered.
Students present ongoing work and final projects in either an on-line or broadcast venue.
The constituents, constraints, values, practices, and media of corporate cultures are investigated from historical, cross-cultural, and contemporary perspectives. Environmental Communication Explores theories, models, and strategies for production and assessment of environmental communications. Examines environmental media and campaigns, and provides students with skills to identify and solve problems in environmental communications and in the production of environmental media. Students may also complete a limited number of additional, for credit, faculty-supervised internships in the communication field. The course units earned for these additional internship experiences apply towards meeting general graduation requirements, but they do not count towards the nine course units required by the major.
