Perhaps no social institution has changed the fabric of American society and global culture so much as the mass media, especially television and film. Now, new communication technologies portend even more significant changes as television, telephone, data transmission on the internet, online news and information combine into single--and expensive--integrated systems. The new media and computer world of the 21st century--dazzling as it may appear--prompts serious cultural, social, and public policy questions.
In response to these issues, the Departments of Communication Studies and Journalism and Technical Communication have instituted a 21-credit certified minor in Media Studies. The minor requires completion of seven courses from the following curriculum. (NOTE: If you are Communication Studies or Technical Journalism major, you can not add this minor.)
To learn more about the Media Studies minor and set an appointment to meet with an advisor, go to the College of Liberal Arts Advising Center, C127 Clark or call (970) 491-3117.
