Media Studies
Studying Media Studies at DePauw
Media is a cultural force that shapes our world at both societal and individual levels. From advertising and journalism to social media and film, the media studies minor at DePauw explores the history of various media forms, develops vital skills of critical analysis and builds a framework for understanding how media reflects and influences our cultural values and shared sense of identity.
Courses in the media studies minor cover a broad range of topics that bring together insights from numerous disciplines. Throughout the course of your studies, you will have the opportunity to engage with contemporary media landscapes, dig into complex questions of media ethics and experience first-hand the craft of media production. This is your chance to build your own practical toolkit for any career in today’s media-saturated world.
In my classroom, I encourage a lot of dialogue and mutual questioning.
