The Media Management degree offers preparation for work in behind-the-scenes areas of media operations such as broadcasting, distribution, network operations, production, management, marketing, and sales. The program builds upon a foundation of media history and theory with practical studies and experiences in media business. The curriculum presents a combination of media-specific courses and basic business courses, along with media aesthetics, creative production, and current practices in digital media. Senior students are challenged to manage an aspect of an actual media operation in the senior capstone course and to prepare a case study of those experiences to enhance their learning and serve as portfolio pieces to help launch their careers.
