BA/BS in Communication and Media Studies

Digital Communication and Media prepares students for creative work in content creation, web development, social media, digital storytelling and media production. Learners produce material suited to different clients and audiences. Throughout the program students assemble a professional portfolio while using production studios, building technical skills in interactive and real-time media. Internships, independent research and partnerships with campus and community organisations add practical experience, and a senior capstone project ties the learning together. Graduates take roles such as marketing, social media and public relations specialists, website designers and journalists, and some continue to graduate study in business or communication. Student media outlets on campus offer further hands-on opportunities. The degree is awarded by Indiana State University, which holds Higher Learning Commission accreditation. Credit earned at regionally accredited institutions may be applied under the university's transfer guidelines, and the program page links to required courses and degree maps.
