Media Science courses develop skills and competencies necessary for creating and distributing more effective media messages. This makes the concentration (and the specialization in Media Research in particular) useful for those interested in careers including message production, developing and distributing persuasive media (e.g., advertising and public relations), message testing and audience research, media management, marketing, consulting, sales and others. The concentration is also well-suited to those students interested in pursuing graduate work in media research. Students completing the Media Science will be well-positioned to work in a number of media and non-media related fields.
