Abstract
The curriculums of all 197 accredited seminaries in the United States were reviewed to identify classes involving instruction in media. Statistical analysis was engaged to determine the average number of classes offered and look for differences in course offerings by faith tradition. Evangelical seminaries favored practical classes in media production, whereas mainline seminaries favored theoretical courses in media studies. Protestant seminaries were significantly more likely than Catholic to offer all types of media coursework. A positive correlation was found between the number of homiletics courses offered by a seminary and the number of media courses. The discussion considers reasons underlying the findings and reflects on the state of media curricula at U.S. seminaries.
