West Virginia University’s renowned Integrated Marketing Communications master’s degree program has implemented significant changes for the 2019-2020 academic year, including reduced tuition, fewer required courses and seven new areas of emphasis.

The tuition and course requirement changes affect both IMC and the relatively new online M.S. in Data Marketing Communications. Tuition for both programs will decrease by 16 percent, lowering the overall program cost to $24,600. And, graduation requirements will be decreased by one course, allowing students to complete their degree with ten courses in as few as one and a half years. This is in response to an increasingly competitive market.

West Virginia University Reed College of Media faculty members and students received several honors at this year’s Public Relations Society of America West Virginia Chapter Awards Gala.

 

Four high schoolers experienced life as West Virginia University Reed College of Media students thanks to a generous sponsorship from Douglas Widmeyer.

Widmeyer, who lives in Martinsburg, West Virginia, made the donation to send students in the Eastern Panhandle to one of the three-day summer camps offered by the College of Media. Isabella Cameron of Martinsburg and Morgan Sherwood of Hedgesville attended traditional Media Camp, where they captured video and photos of incoming students at WVU New Student Orientation to create promotional pieces that reflect the excitement and anticipation of starting college.
