The School of Journalism and Communication launched a new master’s degree in immersive media communication, providing an exciting reality for creative careers.
SOJC’s Immersive Media Communication Master’s program is one of a few programs available for communicators interested in growing their extended reality skills.
A recent report of a local mother receiving a call supposedly from her daughter saying she was kidnapped, possibly generated by “voice emulation technology,” has law enforcement, emerging media experts and everyday people speaking out.
The first-of-its-kind master’s degree in immersive media communication will prepare students to use new technologies to solve social, environmental and business problems by helping audiences better understand the issues around them.
In the SOJC’s Esports and Games Research Lab, students explore the psychology, culture, and industry surrounding gaming—including its effectiveness as a learning tool and its integration into everyday life.
