The College of Mass Communication & Media Arts (MCMA) is pleased to welcome you to Southern Illinois University Carbondale. By selecting a major in MCMA, you have chosen to participate in one of the finest programs in the country. MCMA prepares students for careers in Cinema, Photography, Journalism, Radio and Television by combining creative, analytical, theoretical and professional courses. As an MCMA student, you will learn the communication skills of tomorrow from industry veterans, nationally recognized artists and scholars, all of whom work closely with students. Purpose of this Handbook This advisement handbook will help you plan your academic career throughout your years as an undergraduate MCMA major. This handbook is meant to be used with the SIUC Undergraduate Catalog and semester Schedule of Classes. The Undergraduate Catalog and this handbook contain important information about advisement, registration, University policies, curriculum, graduation requirements and other information you can use as you navigate through your undergraduate educational experience. To effectively monitor your progress, a progress sheet is enclosed in this handbook. Be sure to post your grades on this sheet after each semester. This handbook is for personal and advisement use. Therefore, please bring this handbook with you to your advisement appointments. Academic Advising While your academic advisor will help you plan your academic program it is ultimately your responsibility to meet the requirements you need for graduation (see the SIUC Undergraduate Catalog). Your advisor is available to assist you with questions and concerns you might have during your course of study. Advisor Responsibilities Academic advisors have many responsibilities that ensure students receive the best educational advice. These responsibilities include: *Being prepared by having appropriate resource materials. *Providing accurate and specific information regarding University Core Curriculum, academic policies and procedures, academic standards and resource referrals. *Listening to and assisting students in making decisions and solving problems. *Suggesting options concerning careers, majors and selection of courses.
Student Responsibilities Students also have many responsibilities to ensure their educational needs: *Scheduling appointments promptly and keeping them. *Updating the progress sheet in this handbook regularly and keeping all information provided by your advisor. *Asking specific questions about University Core Curriculum requirements, academic policies and procedures, academic standards, and resource referrals (tutoring, career/major exploration, study-skills workshops, etc.). *Providing accurate information to your advisor about your courses,instructors, study habits and academic progress. *Listening to your advisor and considering his or her advice and recommendations. A final note on advisement: please know your graduation requirements. If you are confused about what courses to take, please do not consult friends (even if they are older, wiser and have “been through it all”). Instead, talk with your academic advisor who will have knowledge of the current requirements and various options specific to each student.

In the Department of Cinema & Photography at SIUC students study the history, theory, and practice of cinema and/or photography while exploring the social, critical, and ideological implications of moving and still pictures. The program provides a foundation for professional, fine arts, and educational careers in cinema and photography, as well as for the study of and experimentation with both cinema and photography as media for communication and personal expression. Students can choose an emphasis in fine arts photography, commercial photography, cinema production, cinema studies (history/theory/criticism), screenwriting or digital communication. The fine art photography emphasis encourages students to realize a personal vision. Students study topics such as digital imaging, large format photography, sensitometry, and history and criticism. Experimental applications of these tools are presented in courses covering non-silver photography and experimental darkroom and camera techniques. Studio workshops and advanced topics courses allow for individual artistic expression, as well as for investigation of special topics such as narrative tableau, the landscape, and environmental portraiture. The commercial photography emphasis explores the fields of advertising, illustration and publication/editorial while stressing original concepts. Through their coursework, students learn professional skills in large format photography, digital imaging and sensitometry. The cinema studies curriculum takes a liberal arts approach to the study of the history, criticism, and theory of cinema. Courses address a range of topics in the areas of film analysis and film theory, film styles and genres, film authors, and the histories of documentary, experimental, and narrative film. Cinema studies prepares students for advanced academic work as well as for careers in film criticism for magazines and newspapers; in film programming for museums, festivals, and universities; and in the expanding area of film distribution. The moving image is the basis for the cinema production emphasis. Students may work independently or in group productions in one or more of the following modes: documentary, experimental, narrative, or animation. Courses include writing for film, animation, digital postproduction, optical printing and advanced sync sound production. Students choose careers as independent filmmakers, or with organizations producing entertainment, documentation, learning aids and experimental statements. The digital communication specialization curriculum is designed to give students a high level of competence to function as content developers, a strong sense of aesthetics and design, hands-on technical instruction and a deep understanding of the principles of networked audio/visual communication used in electronic media.

Students in the advertising/integrated marketing communications (IMC) specialization learn to analyze problems in and identify solutions for the promotion of goods and services through integrated marketing communications. They develop skills in verbal and visual communication and presentation of IMC materials. The program prepares students to enter a wide variety of positions with marketing communications firms (including advertising, sales promotion, public relations, and direct marketing agen cies) in the communications media and with retail or manufacturing firms. As the communication revolution expands the ways in which news and information can be presented, the need increases for individuals with the ability to prepare and present news and information precisely and accurately for a variety of media. Students in the news-editorial specialization receive practical training in the theory and practice of identifying, gathering, processing, interpreting, writing, and presenting news for both traditional print media outlets and new media sources. The program prepares students for professions in which the ability to communicate to a mass audience is essential. Students in the photojournalism specialization develop the photographic and news reporting skills necessary to communicate visually with a mass audience through contemporary media – printed and electronic. Photojournalism students receive practical training in gathering, writing, photographing, editing, and presenting news and feature stories in which the essential information is photographic. The program prepares photojournalists who are fully aware of the power of photography, are well-grounded in the legal and ethical traditions of the profession, and are practically prepared to make a significant contribution to contemporary journalism. The digital communication specialization curriculum is designed to give students a high level of competence to function as content developers, a strong sense of aesthetics and design, hands-on technical instruction and a deep understanding of the principles of networked audio/visual communication used in print and electronic media.

SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM FIRST DAY ATTENDANCE POLICY Due to the high demand for space in some courses offered by the School of Journalism, it is necessary to have a mandatory first day of class attendance policy. This means that a student who does not attend the first class session of a journalism course for the semester COULD be administratively dropped from the class. Students who are dropped from the class will be notified in writing at their local address as listed in the Student Information System. If no local address is on file, notification will be mailed to the student’s permanent address. When you decide to attend the College and register for courses, you are making a commitment to be in class every day. If you miss the first day of class for reasons you could control, we will not hold your seat and you will be subject to the rules listed in this policy. If you know ahead of time that you will not be in class on the first day, FOR REASONS BEYOND YOUR CONTROL, let the School of Journalism (536-3361) know PRIOR to the beginning of the semester and we will inform the instructor. An example of this would be National Guard or Reserve Army Services duty, or verifiable personal illness or hospitalization. _____________________________________________________________

A specialization in electronic media marketing and management focuses on the business side of radio and television. Students are taught in areas such as copywrit ing, audience research, programming, promotion and sales. There are numerous stations across the country owned and run by SIU alumni. The rewarding aspects of a broadcast news career are in the gathering, reporting, producing and broadcasting of information needed by members of the commu nity, the nation and the world.

Students have the chance to build a portfolio of work that has been seen and heard in a three-state region. In the audio production specialization, students learn about work in radio, music business, music recording and audio production for video or multimedia. Class projects are produced in a state of the art digital studio environment. Students have many opportunities for hands-on experience through the two campus radio stations, WIDB (which is completely student run) and WSIU-FM. The department has its own record label and recording studio. In the television production specialization, students complete courses in areas of video production, corporate media, or writing. The video production concentration teaches aspects of program production from concept development through scripting to on-line editing. Courses provide a solid background in both studio and field work. Most production students work with WSIU-TV in many roles including producers, directors, editors and videographers. The digital communication specialization curriculum is designed to give students a high level of competence to function as content developers, a strong sense of aesthetics and design, hands-on technical instruction and a deep understanding of the principles of networked audio/visual communication used in electronic media.

To effectively monitor your progress, a progress sheet is enclosed in this handbook. Be sure to post your grades on this sheet after each semester. This handbook is for personal and advisement use. Therefore, please bring this handbook with you to your advisement appointments. Academic Advising While your academic advisor will help you plan your academic program it is ultimately your responsibility to meet the requirements you need for graduation (see the SIUC Undergraduate Catalog). Your advisor is available to assist you with questions and concerns you might have during your course of study.

In the Department of Cinema & Photography at SIUC students study the history, theory, and practice of cinema and/or photography while exploring the social, critical, and ideological implications of moving and still pictures. The program provides a foundation for professional, fine arts, and educational careers in cinema and photography, as well as for the study of and experimentation with both cinema and photography as media for communication and personal expression. Students can choose an emphasis in fine arts photography, commercial photography, cinema production, cinema studies (history/theory/criticism), screenwriting or digital communication. The fine art photography emphasis encourages students to realize a personal vision. Students study topics such as digital imaging, large format photography, sensitometry, and history and criticism. Experimental applications of these tools are presented in courses covering non-silver photography and experimental darkroom and camera techniques. Studio workshops and advanced topics courses allow for individual artistic expression, as well as for investigation of special topics such as narrative tableau, the landscape, and environmental portraiture. The commercial photography emphasis explores the fields of advertising, illustration and publication/editorial while stressing original concepts. Through their coursework, students learn professional skills in large format photography, digital imaging and sensitometry. The cinema studies curriculum takes a liberal arts approach to the study of the history, criticism, and theory of cinema. Courses address a range of topics in the areas of film analysis and film theory, film styles and genres, film authors, and the histories of documentary, experimental, and narrative film. Cinema studies prepares students for advanced academic work as well as for careers in film criticism for magazines and newspapers; in film programming for museums, festivals, and universities; and in the expanding area of film distribution. The moving image is the basis for the cinema production emphasis. Students may work independently or in group productions in one or more of the following modes: documentary, experimental, narrative, or animation. Courses include writing for film, animation, digital postproduction, optical printing and advanced sync sound production. Students choose careers as independent filmmakers, or with organizations producing entertainment, documentation, learning aids and experimental statements.

The School of Journalism at SIUC, one of the nation’s oldest, combines a broad exposure of the liberal arts with a detailed understanding of the practice of journalism in modern society. The curriculum prepares students for positions of responsibility in advertising/integrated marketing communications, and related marketing communications fields, news-editorial journalism, photojournalism, digital communication and other fields in which the ability to communicate is essential. The award-winning student newspaper, the Daily Egyptian, is produced entirely by students. The School of Journalism is accredited by the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communication. Students in the advertising/integrated marketing communications (IMC) specialization learn to analyze problems in and identify solutions for the promotion of goods and services through integrated marketing communications. They develop skills in verbal and visual communication and presentation of IMC materials. The program prepares students to enter a wide variety of positions with marketing communications firms (including advertising, sales promotion, public relations, and direct marketing agen cies) in the communications media and with retail or manufacturing firms. As the communication revolution expands the ways in which news and information can be presented, the need increases for individuals with the ability to prepare and present news and information precisely and accurately for a variety of media. Students in the news-editorial specialization receive practical training in the theory and practice of identifying, gathering, processing, interpreting, writing, and presenting news for both traditional print media outlets and new media sources. The program prepares students for professions in which the ability to communicate to a mass audience is essential. Students in the photojournalism specialization develop the photographic and news reporting skills necessary to communicate visually with a mass audience through contemporary media – printed and electronic. Photojournalism students receive practical training in gathering, writing, photographing, editing, and presenting news and feature stories in which the essential information is photographic. The program prepares photojournalists who are fully aware of the power of photography, are well-grounded in the legal and ethical traditions of the profession, and are practically prepared to make a significant contribution to contemporary journalism. The digital communication specialization curriculum is designed to give students a high level of competence to function as content developers, a strong sense of aesthetics and design, hands-on technical instruction and a deep understanding of the principles of networked audio/visual communication used in print and electronic media.

SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM FIRST DAY ATTENDANCE POLICY Due to the high demand for space in some courses offered by the School of Journalism, it is necessary to have a mandatory first day of class attendance policy. This means that a student who does not attend the first class session of a journalism course for the semester COULD be administratively dropped from the class. Students who are dropped from the class will be notified in writing at their local address as listed in the Student Information System. If no local address is on file, notification will be mailed to the student’s permanent address. When you decide to attend the College and register for courses, you are making a commitment to be in class every day. If you miss the first day of class for reasons you could control, we will not hold your seat and you will be subject to the rules listed in this policy. If you know ahead of time that you will not be in class on the first day, FOR REASONS BEYOND YOUR CONTROL, let the School of Journalism (536-3361) know PRIOR to the beginning of the semester and we will inform the instructor. An example of this would be National Guard or Reserve Army Services duty, or verifiable personal illness or hospitalization. _____________________________________________________________
