Media Studies

If you’re looking for a major that’s powerful, interactive, and relevant to the way the world works today, look no further than Media Studies. Media shapes our lives—from the tweet you sent a few minutes ago, to the ad you heard on Pandora, to the news program you’ll be watching later tonight.

  • Television
  • Radio
