Program Overview

The Bachelor of Arts in Media Arts equips students to utilize production arts principles with a focus on visual media content creation. Students select a concentration of focus and are prepared for strategic positions in entertainment, news and information, communication, and media arts production.

In addition to the core classes in the Media Arts major, you will have the opportunity to choose a concentration and take the following classes: Animation and Design, Graphic Design, Media Writing and Design, and Video Production.

All four-year Johnson students complete two majors: one in Bible and Theology and one in their chosen field, such as Media Arts. Transfer students with substantial prior coursework may complete a reduced set of Bible and Theology requirements instead of the major. Learn more about the Bible and Theology curriculum here.
