Mestrado em Ciências em Mídias Digitais

The Master of Science in Digital Media introduces the tools and theory of the complex and ever-changing world of digital communication. This dynamic program features hands-on learning and small group work in a mentoring academic environment, leading to tool acquisition and professional development for media professionals. Students in the Master of Science in Digital Media program create, evaluate and utilize contemporary tools of communication, and they explore digital innovations and breakthrough technologies that are changing the way we do business.

In our MSDM program at Bellarmine, students study the practical application of digital media, ethical communication in a culturally diverse workplace, media convergence and its impact on the workplace, and strategies for utilizing media more effectively. The curriculum includes 18 hours of required courses plus 3 hours of MBA elective credit with options for the remaining 9 hours to complete the degree. Of the remaining 9 hours, students will take three topics courses or take a combination of a topics course, thesis and/or an independent study. Topics courses will vary by semester and the specialty of the faculty member instructing the course.

The Department of Communication is the hub of student media and communication culture at Bellarmine University. Our courses blend class work with hands-on application and field experiences to teach students about new communication technologies as well as the many facets of human communication: interpersonal, intercultural, mediated, and group.

In addition to offering a rich and exciting curriculum inside the classroom, the Department of Communication is home to Bellarmine Radio, The Concord newspaper, The Lance yearbook, a media production suite, and a lively sports-broadcasting YouTube channel that covers BU athletics.

The Department of Communication also takes advantage of Louisville’s business, journalism, and communication landscape to bring in exciting guest speakers from across the industry. Our students enjoy many opportunities for active learning, whether in a Mac lab, a production suite, or on location at one of many top internship sites.
