Journalism and Media Studies Minor

Students minoring in journalism and media studies focus generally on classes that feature an appreciation for the First Amendment, as well as the ways media has shaped and continues to shape communications and society. Topics also include the practical and theoretical ways in which media affects daily life, focusing on the roles professionals and institutions play in distributing information.

All students minoring in Journalism and Media Studies take the three pre-major courses, and then move to a selection of one course from the core, plus three upper-division (300-400 level) courses.

Please see the UNLV Hank Greenspun School of Journalism and Media Studies web page for information about department programs, faculty and facilities. Degree worksheets and 4/5 year plan for the major are available on the UNLV Degrees Directory.
