Emerging Media Major

 Return to: Undergraduate Programs and Department Information
Faculty members in Capital’s emerging media program are committed to the belief that students should be prepared for lives of leadership and service by becoming knowledgeable, critical thinkers. The emerging media major integrates the traditional disciplines of business, digital design, film and media production, professional writing, and public relations into one major by combining extensive study in emerging media with a broad background in the liberal arts. As a result, emerging media majors develop both a historical understanding and contemporary skills needed to be successful in an increasingly diverse society. Those pursuing a degree in emerging media will develop theoretical and functional competencies as well as adaptability and self-awareness. The emerging media program is an excellent choice for students whose interests are wide-ranging or who want to work with an integrated-communications agency or other organization where a broad base of skills and knowledge is beneficial.
