The A.Q. Miller School of Journalism and Mass Communications
The Minor Degree in Journalism and Mass Communications
Students who choose to major in other departments on campus can still specialize in Journalism and Mass Communications through the Miller School’s 18-hour minor in Mass Communications.
This degree program is flexible enough to accommodate many student interests, ranging from writing/production courses to more generalized studies of the media professions and their relationship to society.
The minor consists of two core classes:
- MC 110 Mass Communication in Society
- MC 466 Law of Mass Communication
Additionally, students would select one of the Miller School’s 100-level electives:
- MC 111 Journalism in a Free Society
- MC 112 Web Communication in Society
- MC 120 Principles of Advertising
- MC 180 Fundamentals of Public Relations
For specialization in the field, students taking the minor must take three classes totaling nine credit hours above the 100-level, one of which must have a pre-requisite in Mass Communication. One class must be at the 400-level or higher.
Students seeking writing and skills classes must pass the Composition Skills Test (CST).
