Bachelor of Science – Communication Major
Concentration: Multimedia Journ. & Production
Summary of the changes:
The B.S. in Communication's major concentration
in "Multimedia Journalism and Production" is requesting to split into
two major concentrations: "Multimedia Journalism" and "Digital
Video Production." The current APC package deals with the Multimedia
Journalism concentration. Another APC package in the system addresses the
creation of the Digital Video Production concentration (Log Number: 201708-42).
Journalism and production are two fields of
study that are different enough to deserve separate, more specialized
concentrations. There are enough students to accommodate both the Multimedia
Journalism concentration and the Digital Video Production concentration. No
additional resources are required. The concentration will not exceed or fall
short of 120 credit hours required to graduate.
The following courses that are in the current
Multimedia Journalism and Production concentration are being removed from the
proposed Multimedia Journalism concentration:

following 6 courses will still be available for multimedia journalism students
to take once multimedia journalism and digital video production are separate
major concentrations:
