Minors & Concentrations

Minors:

If you are a student of The College of Communication you may not declare a minor. As an alternative, you may consider special certificate programs, concentrations, or other academic enrichment programs.

Certificate Programs:

Students may consider special certificate programs such as the Business Foundations Program, the Latino Media Studies Program, and the Elements of Computing Program. Certificate programs typically require specific coursework as designed by the department.

Concentrations:

Students may consider complementing their degree with a concentration (or also often called an emphasis) in a specific area of study outside of your major. This is not an official program and therefore is not specifically structured by departments or documented on a transcript or diploma. Students will not receive a certificate for a concentration. To claim a concentration on your resume, students must complete 12 hours of coursework in one area of study with at least 6 hours of the coursework at the upper division level.

Academic Enrichment:

Other special academic opportunities have been included in the College of Communication Student Handbook and can be located under Academic Enrichment.
