About Me

Telecommunication Media Studies

As defined by the TAMU Communication Department, Telecommunication Media Studies is a specialized study of communication and information systems and generates skills for understanding media and their role historically, culturally, and currently.

This means that I can:

Create technical and strategic messages adjusted to a variety of audiences
Critique technical and strategic messages
Clear communication barriers oral and written
Influence public communication barriers
Approach difference and uncertainty from ethical principle and practice.

TCMS majors focus on “media industries, technologies, and communication systems” in varying contexts; their audience processes and effects; and social implications of the media. This degree encourages education for outspoken, informed citizens who advocate a productive and changing world.

Within the TAMU Communication Department, Strategic Communication Certificates are offered only to communication and telecommunication majors. This certification focuses on crafting particular messages to reach desired audiences.

This means that I can:

Plan and execute communication strategically
Coordinate the integration of appropriate tactics
Enhance commerce and government through furthering political, religious, and social goals

Tasks that strategic communicators can perform include gathering and interpreting appropriate information, audience analysis, and powerful language crafting. Strategic communicators also use precise planning to avoids corporate frustration, offensive messages, and overspending.

Professional Writing Certificate

This means that I can:

Analyze the context of any document and write that document to fit the demands of its specific context
Edit the documents to bring to a professional and publishable level
Write an appropriate response detailing results to bring a document to a professional and publishable level

While the minimum for this certificate is 18 hours, I have completed approximately 30 hours in developing professional written communication skills. These classes include learning skills like technical editing, HTML coding, blogging, videography, and audio work.
