The Media Studies concentration considers the production, interpretation, and theoretical analysis of communication that is disseminated to a broad and largely anonymous audience and mediated by the various technological devices that make such broad dissemination of the message possible. Relevant theoretical underpinnings and the history and criticism of the message are addressed in such courses as Introduction to Mass Communication and Mass Communication Theory. As mass communication commonly occurs in an institutional context, owing to the costs associated with the requisite technology, survey courses in this area commonly focus, in part, on the industries that have grown up around the various mass media and how this capitalistic industrial context shapes the messages transmitted through these media. Since mass communication by its nature tends to reach large audiences, the concentration’s courses also focus on social contexts, especially the ongoing relationship between the mass media and mass culture.
