Media Studies
The Media Studies sequence provides students with a strong theoretical foundation in mass communication in preparation for graduate school. It will also be an avenue of study for those who want to have a solid foundation in the field but do not want to focus on one element of the school (i.e., advertising, journalism, or public relations).
Students in this sequence will take mass communication core courses, plus the basics in each of the three existing sequences, three CMMN A400 level (theory) courses, and one CMMN elective. Thus, the requirements will appear as follows:
