The philosophy of the Communications Media Department is to prepare generalists in the area of Communications. Our students can choose from one of three tracks within the department, depending on their career interests: Product Development, Electronic Media, or Training and Development. Regardless of the sequence chosen, students may select courses outside of their sequence in order to broaden their skills.
The faculty within the department offers a wide variety of experience in all areas of Communications Media. With the combination of classroom work and the optional internship program, departmental graduates are competitive for positions in various areas. Students graduating from this major have obtained positions in such areas as radio, television, cable television, public relations, advertising agencies, medical media centers, and corporate media centers.
The department has two minors, one in Communications Media and one in Educational Technology. The minor in Communications Media is an eighteen-credit program designed to complement any major. The minor in Educational Technology is a twenty-four-credit program designed for students in the College of Education who are completing a teaching degree.
Students changing majors from other academic departments within the university are required to have a 2.5 grade-point average before transfer will be approved.
