Powerful changes in communication and the arts are sweeping the globe. From isolated villages in the Canadian Yukon to tiny hamlets in Africa, humanity is enveloped in a web of images delivered by a variety of new media. There is opportunity for innovative media professionals, scholars and artists to reinvent the way people work, play, create and communicate together in the future. The College of Mass Communication & Media Arts at Southen Illinois University prepares graduate students to take advantage of that opportunity through our four flexible, challenging, college-wide degree programs:

PhD Mass Communication & Media Arts

MFA Media Arts (Cinema, Photography, Sonic Arts, New Media)

MA Media Theory & Research
