Dean's Message

Dear Students,

HIMCOM provides students with a comprehensive understanding of both traditional forms of media as well as emerging new media formations. Our program offers students the opportunity to develop the conceptual and critical skills necessary to interpret our media-saturated world and the dynamic changes engendered by rapidly developing communication technologies. We prepare students to become more astute consumers of the products of media culture and to consider the fundamental role that various media play in our everyday lives.
