This includes traditional media forms like newspapers, magazines, film, radio and television, but also includes the emerging online, mobile and social media technologies.
BHSU offers a flexible plan of study that can be adapted to individuals’ needs and career goals. In addition, students gain valuable hands-on experience producing for various campus media throughout the program.
