The EWM program offers students an exceptional chance to investigate and produce cutting-edge media. For those majoring in this field, I strongly recommend immersing yourself in the fascinating theories of media and visual culture that form essential foundations for your academic work. Whether examining digital publishing or television storytelling, media concepts and narrative techniques can strengthen your analytical approach. -Dr. Leigh Edwards, Media Studies
The Editing, Writing, and Media (EWM) program focuses on creating, examining, and interpreting diverse texts across historical periods and formats. From studying ancient printed works and illuminated manuscripts to modern digital content creation and distribution, EWM combines theoretical knowledge with practical application. This major suits students aiming for graduate education or careers in legal fields, authorship, publishing, or digital media. EWM graduates emerge ready for leadership positions, whether continuing academic research in textual studies and critical analysis or entering professional fields requiring strong writing and editing capabilities.
The EWM program serves students pursuing advanced degrees as well as those targeting professional paths in legal, literary, publishing, or digital media sectors. The curriculum develops future leaders - both scholars specializing in textual analysis and communication theory, and industry professionals with advanced writing and editorial competencies.
