Be competitive in a rapidly evolving world where diverse forms of media increasingly converge to enable new modes of communication.
Capitalize on existing and emerging employment opportunities in digital content creation and distribution within the rapidly-changing creative economy.
Maximize their broad base of skills in creative (writing, editing, research, flexibility and adaptability, critical thinking), technical (video, audio, social media, digital distribution), communication (teamwork, collaboration, oral/written) and entrepreneurial skills (math, ethics, marketing, basic business operations).
Hands-on projects in each course lead to a relevant and robust electronic portfolio.
Internships and community based projects give students to work on real world skills outside the classroom with working professionals, creating well rounded students with work experience.
