Majors in Digital Media Programming & Management (known informally as "Media Management") prepare for management positions across the various media, including such areas as advertising, global media systems, law, research, and programming. Students develop the necessary knowledge and skills through theoretical and practical courses ranging from research and writing to business and managerial courses. The program ensures full exposure to new and emerging technologies and the business functions associated with them. For many, classroom study is put to the real-world test via internships with leading media companies.
Media Management students must complete at least two Business courses (one core course and at least one elective). A required internship and a senior capstone experience in media convergence complete the plan of study. During the capstone, students will develop their own creative and business proposals and prototypes of digital media content distribution.
- Grades of at least C- are required for courses to count toward majors in the Department of Digital Media & Journalism.
- A 2.0 average in Department of Digital Media & Journalism courses is required for degree application.
