The media properties allow our students to produce professional products for television and the Web, while gaining hands on experience with state of the art equipment.  Students also benefit from Soundsnap, a sound-effects library where students can download effects to fill out the soundscapes in their editing. This educational experience translates into national recognition from national entities including the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, The National Association of Television Program Executives, the International Radio-Television Society, and the National Broadcasting Society.

Media production, management, and technology graduates are well prepared to enter the communications field in a wide variety of capacities.

Students in Media and Society study the use of communication in organizations and government, with an emphasis on digital and social media.
