Academic major: B.S. in Mass Media
Minor: Mass Media

Do you enjoy making an idea come to life?  You may want to consider a career in one of many opportunities where your creativity can thrive.  The study of Mass Media is for those who want to tell a story through film, television, videos, radio, or the Internet.  Learn the techniques of the professionals who take an idea, turn it into a script, and then transform the script into a work of art that everyone can enjoy. 

Do you want to make a difference in the world with your stories?  The study of Mass Media is a powerful tool.  Your desire to help people is enhanced through the effective use of mass media.  We can help you reach your goals through a major that allows you to take control of your creative ideas and make them flourish through the media you choose.  Trevecca’s Mass Media program prepares you for the challenge of making projects that can change the world.  

Courses are taught in a state-of-the-art communication lab.  Outside of class you have access to video and audio editing labs.  HD cameras are available for students to shoot projects either in the studio or in the field.  Students interested in film can apply to spend a semester at the Los Angeles Film Study Center (LAFSC)* where they will take classes and intern at a film studio.  LAFSC participation typically occurs during the student’s senior year.
