Communication, Culture, and Media (CCM) is an interdisciplinary liberal arts-based program with depth and breath. Students learn how media, communication, and technology function in contemporary culture and daily life. As communicators, creatives, designers, social advocates, and cultural citizens, students are prepared to succeed in an increasingly complex, globalized world. CCM students reimagine the world in order to transform it.
"Without CCM, I never would have had the life-changing experience of studying abroad in New Zealand, where I worked on a research project about the indigenous Māori people and their ongoing history with cultural activism."
