Media Studies at SIUE

The Department of Mass Communications offers a graduate program leading to the Master of Science degree in media studies. Our program in the College of Arts and Sciences is designed for students who wish to concentrate in professional media practice (media message design, media policy, marketing communications and management) or media studies (media and politics, media influence, media ethics, media literacy, transnational media, and media representation). These concentration areas reflect the expertise of the department’s graduate faculty, and thus enable students to attain high levels of competence in pragmatic considerations in media, theoretical sophistication and research design.

The media studies MS program maintains an enrollment of about 30 students. This size assures small class sizes (normally about 8-15), personalized program advising from the graduate program director based on a student’s career goals, as well as a close working relationship with the graduate thesis/final project committee.

Students typically begin courses in August at the beginning of the fall semester and can finish their program as early as the following fall. However, admission to the program is open all year and applications are assessed for acceptance as they arrive.

To assure that students will be able to apply the degree to their professional and intellectual goals, the program stresses a foundation in:

Mass communication theory

Qualitative and quantitative research methods

Design, production and application of media messages

This core focus of our curriculum is pivotal for what practitioners in the field might need as well as what doctoral program selection committees look for when evaluating students for their programs. In short, these three core areas of curriculum concentration combine to foster:

Critical thinking;

The ability to communicate clearly, both written and oral;

Understanding the relations between theory and research;

The development of independent and original research;

The analysis of issues relevant to investigation.

Career Outlook

Recent graduates from the program have applied their degree professionally in television journalism, advertising, public relations, sports marketing and public policy, or have gone on to pursue law and doctoral degrees.
