UA Renames Degree to Reflect Industry Changes
The University of Alabama has made significant updates to its degree offerings in response to shifting trends in the industry. The renaming of the Journalism & Media Studies degree is a key example of this adaptability.
This change underscores the institution’s commitment to ensuring that its graduates are well-equipped to succeed in the rapidly evolving media landscape.
The new title better reflects the multifaceted nature of modern media and the diverse range of skills students need to acquire to thrive in this field.
Both the Master of Arts with a major in Journalism & Media Studies and the courses offered under it now align more closely with the contemporary demands of the communication industry. This adjustment demonstrates the university’s proactive approach to staying relevant in an era marked by continuous technological advancements and media transformations.
