Electronic Media Communication

Welcome to the Department of EMC

Are you a creative person? Do you have stories to tell? Do you see the world in unique and interesting ways? Do you like technology, particularly computers? Are you aware of or interested in the politics, social issues, legal issues, and ethics of electronic media communication? Do you want to be part of the "Information Age"?

If you answered "yes" to ANY of these questions, we invite you to come study and practice Electronic Media Communication with us. Our mission is based on the elements described above, and we seek talented students to help us fulfill that mission. 

We are one of three departments in the accredited College of Mass Communication. We are over 775 majors strong and growing. We are studying and teaching digital media communication, television and radio production, electronic media journalism, electronic media management, digital animation, digital imaging, and photography.

While we are heavy users of technology, we base our curriculum on mass communication principles. We use state-of-the-art technology to practice the creation of content based on those principles.  Come take a tour of our facilities to see what we have to offer, or click here to see our latest accomplishments.
