Academic Requirements
Minimum GPA of 2.000 overall. Students must receive a C- or higher in all Media Study courses. Each course taken may be counted only once and applied to only one requirement. The breadth requirement consists of 18 credit hours (six classes) outside of Media Study that meet the following criteria: two courses must be at the 200 level, and four courses must be at the 300-400 level. Transfer students can use transfer credit towards the breadth requirement. The breadth requirement should complement the Media Study degree, and students will have to defend their selection of classes. The breadth requirement is often satisfied with a minor in another department, as long as it meets the necessary credits.
Graduates will be required to have a 3.0 overall GPA and complete the requisite application materials for review by the graduate application committee (academic essay, resume, personal statement, and two letters of recommendation).
Program Distinction
A student in this major is eligible for Program Distinction upon degree conferral if the criteria are met. Criteria are found under Academic Honors in the Policy and Procedure section of this Catalog. Program Distinction is noted on the official transcript. Curricular Plan
