The mass communication track is for students with an interest in the economic, political, legal and social aspects of mass communication. Students may develop a program emphasis in areas such as history, law, media effects, media industry studies, international communication or other aspects of mass communication studies represented in the school. Students in this track generally enjoy reading and research, and may be interested in attending graduate or professional school or pursuing research as a career.
The majority of classes for this track are context courses (see below).
Specific numbers of context courses are required for students pursuing any of the three major program tracks. For students pursuing the Mass Communication Minor, four context courses are required.
