Hi Holly: The University of the Arts is a private university in Philadephia with about 2300 students. Its College of Media and Communication offers several courses that focus on internet & society in a few different contexts. The courses below will all have an arts/humanities approach to communications: CMMC 151 - History of Communication CMMC 207 - Digital Distribution CMMC 334 - News and Culture in the Digital Age MMDI 150 - Information Concepts You can view descriptions for these courses by searching http://catalog.uarts.edu/search_advanced.php For info on the CMMC courses, contact Sigmund Washington in the Communications Department at swashington@uarts.edu. For info on the MMDI course, contact Angela Dowdy in the Multimedia Department at adowdy@uarts.edu and/or Jeremy Beaudry (who is teaching it this semester) at jbeaudry@uarts.edu. You may mention my name if you contact any of them. Hope this is helpful! Best, Julia Pellicciaro Multimedia, Dec. 2008 ---------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht ----------

I'm trying to collect information about undergraduate courses in communication departments in the U.S. that focus on the internet/networked technologies and society. Online information about such courses in medium-sized private universities would be most helpful, but I'll take anything. I have been teaching such a course as a special topic in my department for what will be in the spring the third year in a row, and I'm trying to convince members of my department that a course like this would be a reasonable addition to the curriculum and deserves a course number. Thus, I'm particularly interested in URLs that point to course descriptions or catalogs that I can include in materials to give to my colleagues.
Thanks in advance for any help with this!
