UC Undergraduate
Studies Catalog 2019-2023 Section XVI Media and
Communications Programs |
|
The College of Media and Communications
was established in 2015 in response to the needs and demands of students and
the labor market. Our Bachelor’s degrees concentrate on basic but enduring
practical skills related to leadership and strategies for the analysis and
solving of both foreseeable and unforeseeable problems, rather than being tied
down only to the present situation. The core courses encompass essential
general skills, including analytical reasoning, report writing and other forms
of effective communication, and innovative thinking. This is built upon in
subsequent courses. In addition, there is an emphasis on ethics in media and
reporting.
The College offers four programs related to different aspects of modern
media as a vehicle for ‘getting the message across’:
·
Communication Studies (BA)
·
Journalism
(BA)
·
Media Arts and Studies (BA)
·
Visual Communications (BA)
All programs are offered in the Khmer and International tracks, with
the following applying for the latter: please see Section
V.3 for differences between the two with regard to English language
courses.
This
program covers both the scientific and creative
bases of communication. Students complete a thorough academic program consisting
of courses in theory, research methods, presentations, and engaged learning.
Enhancing the core and concentration-specific classes are courses in a related
area, the study of other cultures, and contemporary technology. This prepares
them for careers in, for example, corporate training, foreign service, law,
politics, labor relations, human services, campaign management, event planning,
account representation, sales, or survey research. All told, the major is
designed to augment students' lives and careers through a clearer understanding
of the effects of communication and messages in their professional and personal
lives.
