Students gain the necessary knowledge and expertise to navigate a changing landscape and produce professional-quality content in various media, including print, video, audio and digital platforms. A key objective is empowering students to be adaptable and nimble in the face of rapidly changing technologies, keeping in mind the short lifespan of some tools and the need to continuously upgrade their skills to stay relevant.

Everything about today’s media and the forces shaping it has a political implication—from coverage of politics, to the tilt of that coverage and the business model for funding media. But more fundamentally, the foundational role media plays in ensuring the democratic nature of our society makes the evolution of media today political by its very nature: who controls it, how it is funded, its strained efforts at objectivity. This course explores that evolution from a nonpartisan perspective, answering questions about what the media is, what shapes it, what role it plays in our democracy and where it’s going.

No matter what field you go into, you need to understand the business foundations of any industry. Success is not just about having skills, it’s about knowing how to take an idea from the back of a napkin or a note on your phone and do something with it. That “something” is at the heart of entrepreneurship. This class will teach you how to start and build your own business, from concept to execution. It dives into the big ideas of business and the process of developing a product or service. By the end of class, students know how to put an idea through the wringer, rapidly prototype, pivot, refine and execute at a high level.
