Overview

Our Bachelors of Fine Arts degree in Mass Media prepares you to step into the workforce in professional positions upon graduation to meet the needs of employers in media who are looking for skill and experience. The mass media program at Valdosta State University offers you the opportunity to develop skills that employers are actively seeking and unable to find.

The mass media degree will provide you with significant hands-on experience in broadcast, audio, narrative moviemaking, and documentary production. In addition, you will have experience in creating and deploying social media. The program ends with you developing resume and portfolio materials to fast track your entry into the job market. So, you have selected a degree that will give you flexibility in what you choose will do.

There are many strong points to our program. Among them are strong faculty and student interactions. It is not unusual as you pass through the building and see faculty talking with students in offices or just chatting in the hall. Faculty are genuinely interested in what students are doing and their progress toward graduation.

We also have excellent facilities. We have a dedicated building that was recently renovated. The Computer labs, equipment storage and checkout, classrooms, faculty offices, studios, and study space are all in the same building. This close proximity for all the programs resources has improved the already strong connection between students and faculty.

Finally, we make sure that your educational experience transcends the classroom. Many of our classes have projects that involved the campus or local community. Students tend to take multiple video and audio workshops to polish their skills and build demonstration materials. You can also take advantage of Studies Abroad. Just this past year students completed an award winning documentary shot in Ireland as the main project for one of these classes.

In your senior year you will take our senior seminar in which you will prepare your resume and portfolio materials and practice interviewing and presentation skills to prepare you for your career search.

How do we know we are successful? Just look at our alumni. We have a strong placement rate and our alumni stay in contact with us. We regularly have alumni return to campus to talk with students and meet with classes to share their experiences. We view this alumni relationship as a strong advantage to our program.
