Complementing any major, the gender and media minor is a cross-unit, interdisciplinary undergraduate minor offered jointly by the School of Communication and Information and the School
of Arts and Sciences' women's, gender, and sexuality studies program. Students are introduced to the minor through a foundational course that offers a shared
vocabulary for analyzing issues of power and representation within the media. Students then have the choice of taking two electives in media production, as well as two electives in critical media/feminist theory. At the end of the program,
students apply skills and knowledge of gender and the media in the completion of a project in a capstone course that offers internship, service learning, and multimedia project options.
