Hi Holly, I'm in the English dept. at Old Dominion University (which is a medium- sized public institution), but I have several colleagues in communication who teach such courses. Here are the titles of the courses: Comm 340. Mass Media and Popular Culture Comm 365. Electronic News Comm 447W/547. Electronic Media Law and Policy Comm 448/548. International Media Systems Comm 465/565. Mass Media and the National Elections Comm 472T/572. New Media Technologies There is also a digital journalism course that I don't see listed but that I know is taught on a regular basis. You can find short course descriptions at: http://www.odu.edu/al/comm/ curriculum_descriptions.html. Kathie __________________________________ Dr. Kathie Gossett Asst.

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!

From: holly-kruse@utulsa.edu To: air-l@listserv.aoir.org Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2008 23:11:33 -0500 Subject: [Air-L] undergrad internet & society courses in comm depts in US? 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!
