Program Overview
The Media Writing Major prepares you for work in business, news, entertainment, non-profit, and ministry-related fields, using both traditional and new media. We offer three tracks for specialization within the program: Business, Design, and Literature.
We provide a well-rounded exploration of areas related to media writing: history, theory, and internship. Sample courses include “Media Writing,” “Screenwriting,” and “Public Relations.” Students will experiment with different media, such as video and photography, web design, literature, and speech.
