Prerequisites: CMA 200, CMA 201, CMA 226, CMA 246, CMA 305, Senior Standing; or permission of instructor

This course intends to be the culmination of the major in Communication Arts, using the wide breadth of skills and concepts learned in prior courses. In this course, you will put them all together. This capstone course requires students to demonstrate communication competencies across multiple platforms including print, web, graphics and video – regardless of whether the purpose is journalistic, marketing, public relations or entertainment.  At the conclusion of the course, students will compile and present a professional level ePortfolio that can be used on the job market. The focus of this ePortfolio is dependent upon each student’s career interests. For example, a student going into the public relations field will produce materials from the perspective of working for a client. An aspiring journalist will showcase coverage of people, topics and events across multiple platforms. Someone looking to go into entertainment will create a platform to display samples of their work and descriptions of their abilities.
