Almost every profession has reason to promote itself and communicate effectively with its customers and clients. The promotion and media minor will help you develop the ability to promote your future employer(s) using public relations and media skills. You’ll develop a broad base of skills on promotion, and learn how to write content used across multiple platforms, including social media and video. This minor pairs well with any major or concentration across campus where communication with the public is expected, teaching you skills that can be applied to nearly any industry.
