Beschreibung des Programms

The rate of innovation in communication technology is accelerating. Some of these innovations will change the world and the way we do business, learn, play, and relate to one another.

What’s more, the National Association of Colleges and Employers’ most recent Job Outlook survey reported 73 percent of employers to list communication skills as a top qualification they seek in potential candidates.

Why earn a degree in Emerging Media?

Whether you hope to launch a career or invigorate your skills in the field of communication or expand your occupational potential, a degree in Emerging Media enables you to assess innovation and trends in communication, develop and execute strategies to capitalize on new media opportunities, and evaluate their impact at every level, from the personal to the global.

Our program prepares you to not only explore new media’s role in communication disciplines, including journalism, public relations, advertising, and marketing but also thrive in any field you work in now—and in the future.

Emerging Media Curriculum

The online program requires 33 total credit hours—nine 3-credit courses and a 6-credit capstone project—to be completed in 12 months for full-time students or up to 44 months for part-time students. Students will be required to take at least one course each semester. Students are allotted a total of 5 years to complete the program. Courses will be offered in the fall, spring, and summer semesters.

The fall and spring semester courses offer a standard 14-week schedule. The summer semester offers condensed 6-week courses as well as the two required independent one-week courses housed on Loyola’s Evergreen campus in Baltimore, MD.
