Media Communication Concentration -
Communication Arts Major
Media students enjoy MAKING. And we focus on developing that joy into skills.
Students studying media at Malone focus on media production skills in their concentration courses and then pair those experiences with the liberal arts communication training in their core curriculum. We emphasize production that is attuned to convergent modes of storytelling and distribution, using industry standard technologies in a freshly remodeled Student Media Center.
