The New Media Studies major is a multidisciplinary program that combines theory and practice in the study of emerging forms of media, digital information, and technology. Via rigorous interdisciplinary coursework, hands-on media experience, and required internships, students integrate media history, theory, research, and law with applied project work in their areas of interest. 

New Media Studies prepares students for graduate study and for work in media industries such as graphic design, audio and visual arts, social media, gaming and simulation, e-text and web publication, and instructional technology. Representative fields of application include education, entertainment, advertising, journalism, promotion, media research, and advocacy.
