The Certificate in Hispanic/Latino Media has a dual focus: 1) it is designed to provide students in media-related fields training in how to serve diverse audiences; and 2) it allows non-communication students to demonstrate that they have conceptual and applied knowledge about the role of Hispanic/Latino media and how it impacts a growing multicultural environment.
