Digital Media (broadcasting) major
So you’re thinking about getting into television, radio or the movies. Or maybe you want to work in multimedia or use communication technology in ways no one has thought of yet. Whatever the medium, professionals in the field of Digital Media play major roles in shaping the way we view the world.
TV, Radio, and Web, oh my!
As a broadcasting major, you’ll have immediate access to Marquette’s broadcast facility that includes two TV studios, nine video editing suites, three audio studios, computer graphics platforms and advanced interactive digital equipment.
Study in a major media market.

So you want to be a star.
Host your own radio show, be a newscaster, produce television shows or shoot your own short film. As a Digital Media major, all this and more is yours when you get involved with MUTV, Marquette Radio and our faculty-led projects.
