The video production minor is useful to students in a variety of fields, including art, business, applied multimedia, film studies, theatre, communication, social sciences, English, and foreign language and literatures. The emphasis is on aesthetics, remote video and studio production and activities, digital editing, and design. While students may choose the video production track, they are required to take courses in other areas. The minor is divided into four specific areas: applied multimedia, video production, art, and computer science. Students must work closely with their departmental advisor and the video production coordinator to ensure that all requirements are met. Back to top of page.Requirements for Minor
