June 2, 2021 – In today’s multimedia age, it is essential for professional communicators to engage in all sides of the publishing process, crafting messages from the written word to web design, video, and audio media to be an effective storyteller.
To help prepare creative multimedia professionals, Millikin University’s College of Fine Arts is pleased to announce a new Multimedia Communication major, offered through the Arts Technology & Administration Department, that will allow students to use a multitude of platforms and technologies to creatively communicate to audiences. The new major will be offered starting in fall 2021.
Central to the Multimedia Communication major is the art of storytelling, digital publishing, and media production. The major is grounded in theory and practice with multimedia production opportunities throughout.
For the Multimedia Communication major, in addition to the University Studies requirements for either a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree, students will need to complete 58-59 semester hours in the major and 24 credits of electives. Students can add breadth to their learning by adding a second major or adding a minor/certificate or they can deepen their knowledge of a particular media such as design, video, photo, audio, creative writing, journalism, or other aspects of multimedia publishing and production.
