Mass Communication
Classwork:
The mass communication concentration provides students with a broad
intellectual grounding in the field, as well as well as the opportunity
to engage in detailed exploration of the role of media and media
institutions in society.
Students in the concentration take a common core of courses along
with students from other sequences as well as principles courses
in journalism, advertising, public relations and visual communication.
Mass communication students also have the opportunity to take multiple
electives and concentration-specific courses meant to ensure a deep
understanding of key mass communications ideas.
Career progression:
The mass communications concentration is designed to produce well-rounded
students who are media literate and capable of thinking critically,
creatively and independently. Graduates would be equipped to take
jobs directly out of their undergraduate programs or pursue advanced
degrees in any number of academic or professional fields.
Capstone Experience:
Mass communication majors must complete two 500-level conceptual
courses in the areas of Freedom, Responsibility, and Ethics of the
Mass Media (JOUR 501) and Mass Media Criticism (JOUR 506).
