Media, Culture, and the Arts

The Macon State College Department of Media, Culture, and the Arts offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Communications and Information Technology and a B.A. or B.S. in Interdisciplinary Studies. It also offers transfer programs of study in art, foreign language, general studies, journalism and mass communications, music, and theatre and communication leading to the Associate of Arts degree.

Humanities Online

Several of the Humanities faculty use a online learning platform that we call Humanities Online, based on the open-source project Moodle. Many face-to-face, hybrid, and online courses taught in the Humanities Department will use this server for coursework instead of or in addition to WebCT. Check with your professor to see if your class will use Humanities Online.

If you’re taking a course labeled “online” or “hybrid,” it’s always a good idea to contact your professor well before the semester begins to see if and when you will meet. Otherwise, show up for the first scheduled meeting to be sure you know what is expected of you in the course. Don’t be surprised if there are penalties for missing orientation.
