Media Communications Degrees

About This Program

If you’re seeking a bachelor’s degree in media communications, learning at Full Sail will provide a thorough understanding of the skills needed to succeed in today’s dynamic media industries.

Although the world of media communications is vast and always evolving, its professionals are connected by the ability to turn a message into something that resonates and inspires. Throughout the project-based curriculum, you’ll explore topics ranging from digital video and audio production to entrepreneurship and marketing strategies. You’ll also hone standard industry skills such as storytelling, graphic design, research methodology, and effectively articulating abstract concepts. You’ll build foundational knowledge in the associate-level portion, followed by advanced courses in the bachelor’s curriculum.

HOW THIS WORKS

This undergraduate program is structured with two areas of focus that, when completed, will provide you with two distinct degrees. First, you’ll complete associate-level classes designed to give you foundational knowledge while still featuring focused core classes in your area of study.

You’ll then transition seamlessly into the bachelor’s portion of the program, where advanced courses will allow you to expand your skills and give you even more hands-on experience.
