About Dual Degree - Bachelor of Arts - Communication Arts - Multimedia - Journalism & Master of Arts - Communication Arts

Program Description

The Accelerated Bachelor’s to Master’s (ABM) degree program offered through the Department of Communication Arts is a rigorous and streamlined program that enables students to earn both a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Arts and a Master of Arts in Communication Arts degree in as few as five years.

Students can complete two degrees in 151 hours rather than the 164 required of a traditional consecutive undergraduate and a graduate program. An accelerated program results in a lower cost as well as time-savings for students because they may take up to 9 hours of graduate courses in their fourth year as part of the banded tuition. Students must apply for the ABM program in the beginning of their junior year and have the necessary GPA and GRE scores to enter the program.

Designed for students hoping to pursue careers in media, the Multimedia Concentration offers three tracks through which they may tailor their studies. Each track offers courses that sharpen practical and technical skills while also emphasizing production and media theory. Students will also work and build from a strong ethical foundation and approach to media production and presentation. In their senior year, AMB students begin their first graduate-level courses, earning credits toward their master’s degree as they complete their bachelor’s. In their fifth year, students continue their study with exclusively graduate-level courses in research methods, practicum and the capstone or thesis course, in addition to two electives related to their preferred multimedia specialization track.

In the Journalism Track, students explore the nature of news and reporting across multiple platforms including broadcast, print and, digital
