The strong liberal arts orientation of the media studies program equips students for a variety of professional opportunities in media and communication as well as graduate study in media, communication, law, business administration, and other areas. With appropriately chosen electives, students can prepare themselves for careers in media studies, public relations, advertising, journalism studies, visual studies, and related fields.
The core courses in the major provide a strong background in media and communication, covering topics ranging from cultural critique, multimedia production, and the theories and philosophy of media and communication research. Majors also choose foundation courses that emphasize the larger social consequences of media and communication. Working with their faculty mentor, media studies majors develop an emphasis in a particular area of the discipline. Media studies majors may, with the approval of their faculty mentor, develop their own individualized emphasis.
