Creative Media & Entertainment Studies

The Creative Media & Entertainment (CME) Program at Butler University offers students an opportunity to produce creative content from the ground up. From day one, students have an opportunity to get involved in an array of creative outlets in audio, video and multimedia production. With degrees in Digital Media Production and Recording Industry Studies, students have access to state-of-the-art technology and will work with faculty with professional expertise. Offering real world experience and industry-focused course work, students have an opportunity to move from concept to production to showcasing their creative talents, whether producing a music CD, designing a website, or creating a short film.

Housed in the College of Communication, students have an opportunity to collaborate with each other as well as with faculty from other communication-related programs, including advertising, public relations, critical media studies, organizational communication and journalism. Butler students also benefit from being in Indianapolis, Ind., a sizeable media market and the 14th largest city in the United States. Indianapolis is home to a variety of multimedia businesses, recording studios, television and radio stations. Internship opportunities are rich and offer students a great advantage after graduation.
