The BS (Honors) Media Studies program is designed to provide students with strong grounding in, and a broad academic base for, pursuing a professional career-institutional or entrepreneurial - in the wider field of media and film arts. The curriculum seeks to endow students with creativity, and deep insight into the world of media and visual communication, through an array of courses in journalism, communication and social sciences, as well as practical hands-on exposure to the art and craft of film making for television, as well as new media content creation. It strengthens their prospects in a world where multi-platform communication and multi-format journalism are becoming the norm. The program has benefited tremendously from the constant and ongoing support it receives from media experts and practitioners - specialists in the field of journalism and filmmaking – who make up the bulk of the teaching faculty. This is in addition to the collaboration the department receives from media channels and establishments, media-related institutions and regulatory authorities. The four-year program requires completion of 144 credit hours of course work, and a compulsory 6-week internship.Show More
