A great idea is nothing if it’s not communicated well. Where there’s understanding, ideas take wing, people act, and change happens. In our media-saturated society, meaning can be elusive. This is where you come in.

The SAMC Media + Communication program moves you beyond tweets, likes and emojis to gain insight into the deep themes that shape our culture. Three distinct streams—media studies, professional writing, and leadership—give you the theory-based grounding and practical instruction you need to build your media literacy and technical skills. We also offer travel studies and practicum opportunities. From day one, you will be mentored to discover the right lens for your passion—whether it’s web development, digital gaming, filmmaking, public speaking, organizational communication or writing for a range of media platforms. Before long, you will be engaging with culture, producing content with real-world application, and learning to tell the stories that matter—all to impact the world for the better.
