Minor Requirements
The minor in Social Media combines both a theoretical and practical exploration of the field of social media. It explores the cultural implications and the communication strategies within social media while also developing skills in writing, video, audio, graphic design and other fields that are brought together under social media.
Communication majors may complete this minor, but it must be in addition to an approved non-Communication minor.
A minimum grade of C or better is required for all courses in the major.
