This interdisciplinary major taps the expertise of nearly 40 Rollins faculty and 20 departments and programs. Critical Media and Cultural Studies develops skills essential for responsible participation in a free democratic society: critical thinking, written communication, oral communication, multicultural perspectives, and media literacy. Graduates will be prepared for employment in media and communications industries and/or graduate programs in media studies, cultural studies, and communication.
The major requires successful completion of four core courses, six electives, and a practicum.
Core Courses:
CMC 100: Introduction to Media and Cultural Studies, CMC 200: Researching Media and Culture, Critical Frameworks for Contemporary Culture (or Sociology Theory), and Senior Seminar and Research Practicum.
Elective Courses:
Some majors specialize in pre-defined areas of concentration: 1) International Media (sample courses include: Post-Colonial Film and Literature, Latin American Film) and 2) Power and Persuasion (sample courses include: Language and Power, Argumentation and Media-Manipulation, Persuasion Theory). Most of our majors build a specialized concentration (e.g., Gender, Body Image, and Media; Economics, Politics, and Media) in collaboration with their faculty advisors.
Practicum:
Students must complete at least ONE of the following: 1) an academic study-abroad experience, 2) a CMC-approved internship, 3) significant service to campus media.
