The New Media department gives students experience in digital content of all kinds, from podcasting and phone apps to animation and virtual reality.
The major-specific coursework shares many of the same requirements as the Communication major, including journalism, writing for television, and video production courses. Additional requirements include Internet and visual communication, digital and interactive media, and media research. You will also complete an internship of at least 3 credits, though you can substitute a semester in a study abroad program to meet this requirement.
The department prepares students for careers across the spectrum of new media, including:
- Marketing and advertising
- Video and computer games
- App development
- Web and digital media
- Television and radio
