What sets us apart

Our curriculum is unique in its dual focus: students learn how to research, strategize, build, and evaluate communication campaigns and then implement those campaigns with media production skills. 

The hybrid format of our Master of Arts in Digital Communication program allows for flexibility based on student needs and schedules. All classes begin after traditional work hours end. This program will work directly with the students to meet their professional goals and work with them to build a digital portfolio to make them marketable on the job search.

Our classes are capped at 15 and students not only have the option of two advisors to mentor them through the program, they are also welcomed to various grad student “socials” and professional networking events, both online and in-person. Our professors have a high level of engagement with our students, which helps students succeed.

Curriculum

Choose from two areas of concentration: Digital Arts Production or Digital Strategy and Promotion. Students have the option of completing an internship as one of their elective courses which will allow students to apply coursework to professional experience.
