Program Description Unlike most online Communications schools, our online Communications school offers an online Communications degree option for a Master of Arts and Bachelor of Arts with an emphasis on short form production and media specialty. Here you will learn the newest techniques and technologies in communications from award-winning professionals in broadcast and online media. Today's media professional needs to be comfortable behind and in front of the camera — and in front of the computer. In this program, you will write, shoot, edit and appear in broadcast-quality productions, applying the standards and professionalism of broadcasting to Web 2.0 delivery — from YouTube to your own video site. You will create news reports and podcasts, webisodes and mobisodes, blogs and commercials. You will learn all of this from working professionals at the nation's top art school for Visual Communications. A principle goal of the department is to help you specialize in a career. All of the online Communications courses help you learn skills unique to sportscasting, fashion journalism, investigative reporting, interactive and multimedia development, and how to cover everything from entertainment to food to finance. We call it "You Media." The portfolio you leave with will separate you from graduates from other Communications schools, because at our Communications school we help you build will reflect the skills most in demand in the industry. Our students intern at online companies such as CBS Interactive, CNET, Flycast, and at broadcast studios of ABC, CBS and Fox. There are countless more opportunities at Web-based video publications Hundreds of cable channels More than 800 TV stations around the U.S. Broadcast operations around the world Course Hardware Requirements While some of the classes in the online Communications degree program can be successfully completed on either a Mac or PC, the program requirements reflect the fact that most industry professionals work on the Mac platform. A significant number of courses for this degree require software that is only available for the Mac. Online students should refer to the online course description pages for details. If you are pursuing this degree and intend to purchase a new computer, you should plan to buy a Mac. Contact us at 415.274.2200 or Request Info.
