Professionals receiving the M.C. degree can enhance their careers through coursework focused on digital media, documentary filmmaking for the Native American community, and other specializations. The Department offers two different M.C. degrees, each of which is described in more detail below. Note that the Digital Media M.C. is an evening degree program with a distinct set of courses and a different tuition structure.

1. Native Voices M.C.

Requires 45 credits, including project and oral presentation of project. This degree is a more narrowly focused M.C., and it is jointly sponsored by the Department of Communication and American Indian Studies. It is designed for documentary filmmakers who focus their work on subjects that have special relevance to the Native American community. Click here for more information or contact Prof. Daniel Hart.

2. M.C. in Digital Media

This 45-credit degree program has three concentrations: (1) content creation, (2) management and (3) policy, regulations and ethics. Classes meet in the evening to fit the schedule of working professionals. Most students are mid-career professionals, though no digital media work experience is required. Students can choose to complete the degree requirements by completing 45 credits of courework and a final master's examination, or by completing 40 credits of course work and a final project. The program is jointly offered through UW Educational Outreach, which has tuition rates that differ from those in daytime programs. The degree has the same status awarded by the Department of Communication and the University of Washington.Contact Prof. Hanson Hosein for more information or go to the M.C. Digital Media website.
