About Mass Communications...
Studies in Mass Communications at the University of Louisiana at Monroe teach not only the industry as it exists today, but also look toward the rapid evolution of the media. In the face of new technologies and channels of communication like computers and the Internet, old distinctions between print and electronic media are diminishing in importance. In the newest media companies, such distinctions are disappearing altogether. The Mass Communications curriculum is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in this dynamic new media environment.
