    What is an MA in Multimedia? In its broadest scope, this degree can help prepare students to work with a variety of media including print, television, radio, film, graphic design, photography, and animation. Included in the program may be both learning how to communicate across these different platforms as well as how to actually produce the content. Courses such as marketing or psychology, with respect to communication, may also be part of the curriculum. In addition, it may be possible to specialize in a particular area such as communication, journalism, or production.

    The ability to use multimedia is now a necessary skill even at the management level. Enhanced communication skills in general can help job candidates throughout their career from the outset at the job interview to performing day to day in a corporate setting. One’s ability to think critically can also be honed, as one decides the pertinent information to be included in the media presentation.

    There are several things to consider when choosing a Master of Arts program, including costs differences between schools and the time it takes to complete the degree. It’s a good idea for students to review each one carefully to make sure that it matches their needs and budget.
