A "Day-in-the-Life" as a Mass Media Student

One day you’re in class learning the ins and outs of media strategy, and the next you’re pitching story ideas for the Arrow, helping plan a campaign with SE Creative, or brainstorming shots for a TV or film project. It’s hands-on, high-energy, and all part of the SEMO experience.

Want to see more? Check out this "Day-in-the-Life" from a SEMO student studying in Puerto Rico! Through a unique partnership between SEMO, KFVS12, and three leading Puerto Rican universities, mass media students can study in Puerto Rico.
