Succeed in Professional Communication

UNLV Online Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and Media Studies

Media studies concentration

Gain the critical thinking and problem-solving skills needed for leadership and management in professional communication.

Benefit from:

A curriculum that combines theory with hands-on media production in writing, broadcast, multimedia, and digital media
Skill-building in real-world media settings such as content creation, emerging technologies, and ethical media practice
Faculty who bring real-world media experience to online learning

Through coursework, internships, and student-radio opportunities, I gained experience that helped me secure a broadcast position in professional sports right out of college. My time in the JMS program equipped me with valuable skills that I use daily in my role as the Play-by-Play Voice for the Triple-A Affiliate of the Seattle Mariners.
