With digital media on the rise, the School of Journalism and Mass Communication has made some changes to help students be better prepared for the work world. Malik Mingo has more in this Bobcat Update.

Texas State students are now able to major in Digital Media Innovation. S-J-M-C is offering classes that will teach students about all things digital.

Through classes such as Web Design and Publishing and Advanced Social Media and Analytics, the faculty hopes to prepare students for jobs that do not even exist yet.

The process for establishing the new major began almost two years ago. During the summer the state's council on higher education approved the major, and S-J-M-C purchased new computers for the M-I lab, which now occupies space in Old Main where the offices of radio station K-T-S-W used to be. Holly Hendrichsen was majoring in electronic media, and she decided to make some changes.

Whether you want to create a new app OR become a content creator for BuzzFeed, like Hendrichsen, digital media innovation may be the major for you. For more information about the new program, visit the School of Journalism and Mass Communication website. For Bobcat Update, I'm Malik Mingo.
