Minor in Digital Storytelling

The Minor in Digital Storytelling, which is administered by the School of Journalism, prepares students for a media-focused world and provides them with the tools and techniques needed for creative, entrepreneurial and analytical processes and production. Students gain the marketable skills necessary to pursue career paths in film, television, corporate communications, digital advertising, new media and other fields that use sound and image to entertain, inform and/or educate.

The minor is available as an elective to students enrolled in bachelor’s degree programs at Michigan State University. With the approval of the department and college that administer the student’s degree program, the courses that are used to satisfy the minor may also be used to satisfy the requirements for the bachelor’s degree.

Students who plan to apply to the program should consult the undergraduate advisor in the School of Journalism.
