西安大略大學(xué)

MIT is a flexible program that gives you the opportunity to build a degree program to suit your interests and goals. After first year, you’ll take a series of core, required foundational courses. In your senior years of the program, you’ll have the freedom to choose electives in MIT that cover a wide range of media-related topics.

Objectives

As a student in the MIT three-year or four-year program, you will:

• Gain an understanding of the practical, theoretical, historical, social and cultural contexts of media, information, and technology
• Become aware of information as a resource, understand the range of information sources available in an area of interest, and be able to find, retrieve, and critically evaluate information and information resources
• Learn how the media of information, communication, news and entertainment are related to culture, ideology, and identity formation
• Explore cultural responses to technology, the forms they may take and the way relations between humans and technology create different kinds of cultures or "techno cultures"
• Examine patterns of thought, cognition, interaction, culture, or power embodied in the design and use of information technologies
• Gain an understanding of the processes and institutions involved in creating and disseminating information, entertainment, and knowledge
• Explore the connections between the control of information/communication technologies and democracy, the public sphere, capital accumulation, labor and occupations, and the environment
• While the MIT program provides students with a broad range of intellectual skills and knowledge, it is not designed as a training program in advertising, media production, or public relations. Students will acquire a solid, interdisciplinary education useful for professional work in media industries, information management, or other communications-related fields. It also provides the necessary background for graduate work in media studies, communication and other disciplines.
