The media studies emphasis within the 沟通的艺术 major teaches students to analyze and critique news articles and broadcast segments, 电影, 以及其他当代媒体. The curriculum challenges students to study the ownership of the press to inform their thinking about the messages conveyed. 课程 critique American and international 电影s, which students view both for meaning and as a way to better understand the cultural and social contexts in which the 电影s are made and viewed.
Experiential learning offers students an opportunity to gain real-world experience through courses like 音频/广播/播客. Students in the class designed The Cultural Edge podcast series as an informative, objective debate between co-hosts who take on current hot button issues facing the nation. Designed to mirror broadcast journalism, the podcasts were created with a narrative structure in mind.
Learning to research and mentored by our faculty, students have presented their work at national conferences. Some students choose to continue their studies in graduate schools with a few alumni accepted to prestigious graduate programs including CMU, 宾夕法尼亚州立大学, 和南加州大学.
