Minor
The Media and Cultural Studies minor provides an interdisciplinary examination of film, video, television, multimedia, visual and digital cultures with a primary emphasis on history and theory and a secondary focus on creative intervention in media environments through production.
A minimum of 24 units (one lower-division course and five upper-division courses) are required.
-
Lower-division requirements (2 lower-division courses; at least 8 units)
- MCS 001
Students are required to take MCS 001 and must receive a “C-/above” in this course to declare MCS as their minor. The department will consider grade petitions on a case-by-case basis.
- 1 lower division course chosen from the following: ART 004/MCS 004, MCS 005, MCS 010, MCS 020, AHS 020/MCS 023
- MCS 001
-
Upper-division requirements (a minimum of 4 courses; at least 16 units)
