The digital media minor prepares you to learn how to bring the power of new media to your area of study—expertise that can help you excel in your career.

Here are more reasons why a minor in digital media will be beneficial:
Build basic skills in digital media
Analyze, produce, and critique interactive digital media content without extensive prior experience. Beginning courses in theory, aesthetics, and production will teach you to create effective and powerful digital messages with traditional media such as video, audio, and text.
Advance in your current major With a focus on the fundamentals of art, journalism, communication studies, music and telecommunications, the digital media minor allows you to creatively excel in your major by enhancing your design techniques and problem-solving skills. While it’s especially appealing to students studying journalism, art, telecommunications, and music, you may find it applicable if you are studying political science, business, architecture, and other fields.
Gain a competitive edge in the workforce
Be a step ahead of the post-college competition by gaining proficiency in design, production, and opinion process—skills that are increasingly important to employers as reliance on technology evolves in all professions. Understanding how parts of a group function individually will contribute to your success in future team projects and help you to realize that we all work stronger together than we do apart.
