BA / BS Communications - Emerging Media

Join the next generation of communications leaders who  create meaningful content for diverse audiences and media platforms. You’ll publish stories in our student-run newspaper and magazine, operate the camera in our campus TV studio or write about the latest news in public relations. Study with faculty who bring decades of experience and incorporate the latest technology in their instruction. You’ll be prepared for careers in one of four concentrations: Broadcast Journalism, Print Journalism, Public relations or Emerging Media. 

The Emerging Media program provides students with the skills required to pursue careers in content programming, sales, advertising, and administration within both traditional and emerging technology industries. Due to the increasing convergence within the media, managers need to have a fundamental understanding of how all aspects of media organizations function (from planning to production to distribution to evaluation). In addition, a program of sound business fundamentals will be provided to accompany core media classes.
