We live in a media-saturated world. From video clips on your phone, to TV ads, to blockbuster movies, to posters at the bus stop, to the music in your ears; you are surrounded by media messages for most of your waking hours. How do you make sense of them all? How do you know what they are trying to communicate? How do you know how much you have been influenced by these messages? Does the media reflect your reality, or control the way you view it? Studying media will enable students to become proficient in skills which are invaluable to employers, including communication (verbal and written), research, planning and design, presentation skills, and critical thinking.
