Overview

Success in today’s rapidly evolving media industries requires a solid foundation in the liberal arts, a comprehensive training in media theory, and introductory skills in media production as traditional communication channels overlap and converge. The Mass Communication Option helps students learn how to think critically about the ways in which mass communication influences society, and helps them become informed, critical consumers of media.
