The Media Studies major at UW-Stevens Point offers a forward-thinking curriculum giving students the knowledge, skills, and experience they need to engage critically with media content and technologies by using media history, theory, aesthetics and criticism to inform their production practices. This approach, in which classrooms become sites for engaged inquiries that extend connections between culture and technology, has been termed \u201ccritical making.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Courses are offered in all levels of video, media and multimedia production, media aesthetics, media history and law. Hands-on immersion provides the greatest chance for students to put their classroom skills to use and experiment with new ideas.<\/p>\n
