Film and Media Arts Minor
The film and media arts minor requires a minimum of 24 credit hours. Communication and advertising and public relations majors must complete all requirements in the minor, with at least 4 credit hours of courses that meet requirements beyond the courses for their major.
The film and media arts minor offers students the opportunity to explore professional coursework in film and digital production for motion pictures and dramatic television. Classes provide experience in hands-on cinematography with film and digital cameras, location audio, non-linear editing, script writing and producing. Completed coursework meets requirements within the film and media arts major, and would therefore provide a base for a student to transition into the major. All students are welcome to enroll.
