Overview

The Media and Entertainment degree at Kennesaw State University will challenge you to explore the critical ways in which communication and media connect with and affect our lives, society, and culture. With the media degree, you’ll learn about the forms and effects of media, including radio, film, television, print, and electronic media. You’ll also learn and demonstrate basic digital media production skills..

What you'll learn

As a media and entertainment degree component, you’ll engage with creative analysis, production, and research into traditional and emerging forms of media. The program curriculum emphasizes media history, media institutions, theory and research, production, ethics, policy, management, and technology and their effects on contemporary life.

The program will provide you with theoretical and hands-on approaches to studying and producing media. The media and communication degree defines “entertainment” as “any media or communication function used for entertainment purposes.” Therefore, you will find that the field of media and entertainment is vast and includes everything from film, television, and radio pre-production, production, and post-production; to corporate, government, and non-profit communications and digital media production.

Careers

Jobs in the media and entertainment industry can include theater, music, museums, theme parks, sports, travel and tourism, and gaming. The program also features momentum productions, a collective of faculty and students who volunteer to help our campus and community partners with media production projects.
