Consistent with an ever-changing, dynamic media landscape, the School of Journalism and Strategic Communication gives students an opportunity to learn every side of the media business while also providing them high-demand skillsets for employers across the marketplace.<\/li>\r\n<li>The Department of Telecommunications is now the Department of Media. Students in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bsu.edu\/academics\/collegesanddepartments\/media\"><strong>Department of Media<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0are empowered to craft compelling stories by taking advantage of best-in-class facilities, which are available early in their education career.

The renamed\u00a0<strong>Computer &amp; Information Technology<\/strong>\u00a0(CIT) program now includes an emphasis on the leadership, organizational behavior, and communication skills necessary for professional success and on high-demand technology areas, including virtualization, cloud services, cybersecurity, and emerging technology. Additional concentrations in other areas, such as tech-informed leadership, esports, and full-stack development are under development.<\/li>\r\n<li>A reformulated\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bsu.edu\/web\/public-media\">Ball State Public Media<\/a>\u00a0program will strengthen CCIM\u2019s efforts to provide a meaningful educational experience through unparalleled immersive learning opportunities for students. This expanded vision of media aligns with the University\u2019s mission to provide the community purposeful, deliberate content on topics and issues that matter most including local news, entertainment, and inspirational storytelling.<\/li>\r\n<li>The introduction of two new Accelerated Masters Programs (AMP):\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bsu.edu\/academics\/collegesanddepartments\/sjsc\/academic-programs\/masters\/emerging-media-design-and-development\">Emerging Media Design and Development<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bsu.edu\/academics\/collegesanddepartments\/sjsc\/academic-programs\/masters\/public-relations\">Public Relations<\/a>, whereby undergraduate students can take up to 12 credits of graduate courses, allowing them the opportunity to complete their BA\/BS and MA degrees in five years.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<li>The Department of Media <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bsu.edu\/about\/administrativeoffices\/alumni\/get-involved\/campus-partners\/college-of-communication-information-media\">Alumni Society<\/a> hosted a meeting on Campus on Friday, October 22.
