The Bachelor of Arts in Media will teach students how media operates in our current era to shape society and how to think about it in new and innovative ways. They will learn how to communicate verbally and visually across multiple media platforms, practicing how to critique and apply media design across these different areas. Students will be taught how these practices can affect and inform the beliefs, attitudes, values, identities, and behaviors of individuals, groups, and the public. Undergraduates will also learn how to interpret and evaluate media information from a critical perspective, so they can better understand how to use media wisely and ethically. The goal is for students to become informed citizens in the global digital world.
The major is flexible in design and incorporates foundational, theoretical, and skills coursework focused on the convergence of information technologies such as the rapid evolution in the fields of cinema, advertising, telecommunications, digital media, game design, and other emerging media platforms.
