The Master of Arts in Communication (MACOMM) is a 36-credit program with three certificate options in Corporate Communications and Public Relations (CCPR), Digital Multimedia Journalism (DMJ), and Digital Multimedia Production (DMP). The required courses in theories, methods, and ethics will lay the conceptual and technical foundation for the applied learning sequence of multimedia production courses. These courses, in turn, prepare the student for internships and the capstone mentorship experience, which culminates in the creation of a digital portfolio (''digifolio'') of the student's work. By the completion of the degree, students will have compiled a portfolio of materials that demonstrates advanced skill sets for their respective job sectors. MACOMM students' productions are also consistently distributed, broadcast, and/or published through various media outlets while they are completing their multimedia production, internship, and mentorship coursework. MACOMM students acquire the social, artistic, and technical skills necessary to create substantive and professional multimedia communication projects, presentations, and artifacts. Students gain the necessary skills to succeed in a professional context, including effective communication, time management, teamwork, and problem-solving, and planning, organizing, and leading in a professional context. The MACOMM students learn with industry-standard digital technologies and software used to produce and distribute multimedia content. In addition, students developed a theoretical, historical, and practical understanding of the relationship of media to democracy and society, and the profound ethical and social responsibilities that come with being a professional communicator. Students can finish as quickly as one year taking classes two nights each week or in two years taking classes one night each week.
