Requirements for the liberal arts major in Journalism and Media Studies, B.A. program with a specialization in Media and Society
The specialization in Media and Society area helps students develop a rich, theoretically and historically grounded knowledge of the complex relationship between media and our social worlds. It will prepare students for a range of careers across media-related industries as well as develop as media literate citizens. While maintaining the blend between theory and practice, course work will focus more on Concept and Analysis, providing students with a firm liberal arts education. This area of specialization is ideal for students interested in studying and understanding the social and cultural role of media in everyday life.
