Program Description

The BS in Media, Culture, and Communication (MCC) is a 128-credit program that foregrounds the historical, political, and cultural dimensions of media and technology. As MCC majors, students gain the tools to research, analyze, and understand complex media landscapes in local and global contexts. Majors are encouraged to take advantage of the courses we offer abroad, for example through our Global Media Scholars Program, to cultivate their knowledge of the production, circulation, and reception of media around the world. Opportunities to apply theoretical coursework in practice can be sought through the degree’s Professional Electives, by completing the optional Internship Program, and/or the BEMT minor, among other pathways.

The components of the major include a strong liberal arts preparation, three core courses in theory and analysis, and upper-level courses consisting of three framing courses and four electives in the following five areas of study:

  • Global Communication and Media
  • Visual Culture and Sound Studies
  • Interaction and Experience
  • Media Industries and Politics
  • Technology and Society

If interested in pursuing a double major, students may consider combining the major in MCC with journalism, politics, sociology, or another area of interest. Students must consult with their primary adviser in MCC and an adviser in the department of the proposed second major to discuss both programs of study. Students may also declare a co-major in Global Public Health/Media, Culture, and Communication.
