Digital Media

Abstract

The major in digital media (DGMD) is designed to prepare students to excel as ethical, innovative media producers and creative professionals. Such opportunities exist in commercial radio and television, documentary and narrative film-making, public broadcasting, corporate media, and associated emergent technology industries. Courses emphasize the hands-on creative use of video and audio in the development of informative and entertaining media content. Through close collaborations with faculty, students acquire a broad understanding of media history, theory, and practice as they critically examine the role of Digital Media in a global world. Recent DGMD alumni have gone into a variety of careers including producing, sports casting, radio promotions, media management, casting, on-camera presentation and performance, film and corporate video editing. Students interested in broadcast journalism should select journalism as a major, with a minor in digital media.
