Cultivate New Skills to Enhance Your Career Options with a School of Communication and the Arts Minor
Your minor does not have to be related to your degree, but a related degree and minor may have some overlapping courses – meaning you may not have to take as many extra classes to earn your minor. Numerous degrees also have room for free electives, which your minor can count toward. Some minors, like journalism, pair well with any degree.
Currently, our Minor in Journalism is the only communication minor offered. It includes a series of online courses that can enhance your critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills while teaching you current journalistic standards and industry practices. Furthermore, you can gain insight into how the future of writing is changing and how to communicate in the digital age.
The skills you gain in this journalism minor can easily transfer into other areas. Whether you are writing scientific journals or creating blog posts as a social media editor, this minor can help you gain valuable skills that pair well with a variety of degrees.
