The Communication Media Concentration (LCM) focuses on the role of media as the infrastructure that makes communication possible. Media technologies, media practices, and mediated discourses shape how we understand the world around us. Historical changes in media technologies and networks alter how media can be used socially, culturally, politically, and economically to form communities and exercise power. The Communication Media curriculum approaches media historically, theoretically, analytically, critically, empirically, and creatively. You will combine theoretical and critical understanding of media technologies and discourses with practical skills in media production and critical media-making in areas such as audiovisual production, games, mobile media, and computational media. And you'll participate in rewarding internships that allow you to put this knowledge and new skills to good use.
