What will I learn?
The Bachelor of Arts in Global Media Studies (GLO) is an interdisciplinary online degree that prepares students to gather, analyze, verify, authenticate, and communicate information in varying cultural, political, economic, technological, legal, and societal contexts in an effective, ethical and culturally aware way to communities in Arizona, the U.S., and around the world. The program draws on faculty from the School of Journalism who have worked on every continent in the world and who have research, outreach, teaching, and training experience with domestic and global media outlets and other transnational institutions. More than half of the faculty have worked in global settings and participate in the School's Center for Border and Global Journalism. The program will provide students with skills and tools to study media and to learn from example about how media utilize technology and other tools to communicate information about societal issues, challenges, and innovations with audio, video, images, and text in contexts in Arizona, the U.S., and countries around the world.
