What is American Culture and Media Arts? The American Culture and Media Arts Program is a joint major between the School of Communications and Theater and the American Studies Program (in the College of Liberal Arts). 
The major is a response to the fact that mediated culture -- film, television, radio, photography, print journalism -- has come to dominate the experience of Americans, while at the same time American values and traditions inform our creation and reception of the media. Students in the program take coursework in both CLA and SCAT. Those classes provide a foundation for critical awareness as well as preparation for a variety of media-related careers, including: research positions in film and video production; archival and library positions in media institutions; public relations jobs in media; museum research postions supporting exhibitions and media; and writing about media for publications. This interdisciplinary major is open to students based in either CLA or SCAT. For more information, please contact: Carolyn Kitch, Ph. D., using the contact information below. More ACMA information
