The Industry Studies area of the department encompasses managerial, technological, economic, political, and social dynamics of various media, including radio, television, film, the Internet, and mobile media. The Industry Studies area is designed for students with interests in media management, new media, media economics, media entrepreneurship, media law and regulation, audience research, globalization, and media programming. The master's degree requires the completion of at least 36 hours of graduate course work, including 6 hours of thesis credit and takes approximately two years to complete. A satisfactory written thesis must be presented and defended. A student may also elect 6-12 hours in a minor area. In addition, students must maintain a minimum GPA of 3.25 while in the program. Any student whose GPA drops below this level will be placed on probation for one semester.
