Minor in Digital Media Technologies The Digital Media Technologies Minor is a 21-23 semester hour interdisciplinary minor offered through the Media Studies and Production (MSP) Department within SMC and the Computer and Information Sciences (CIS) Department within CST. It is designed to expand students’ knowledge of the information age, to empower them to understand how to communicate using emerging media and computer technologies. The ability to tell stories through emerging digital media technologies will be critically and analytically explored as students examine the science of those technologies. The algorithms of communicating via emergent technologies will be at the core of this minor. This program addresses serious gaps in the current curriculum because current students of media have little understanding of the science of digital media and fast evolving interactive web-based information sharing technologies.
The minor is available to undergraduate students in MSP, CIS, as well as other departments and colleges. Upon completion of this minor, student should be able to demonstrate the following competencies:
Utilization of the hardware, software and technologies for integrating content for computers, the Internet, and mobile devices
Critical analysis of decisions made regarding the use of technology specifically in the social and ethical arenas
Understand the impact of current and emerging technologies locally and globally
Design and implementation of content for various digital media
Ability to evaluate the science of technology as it impacts communications.
Develop and refine presentation, analytical, problem solving and writing skills
TRANSFER CREDITS ARE NOT ACCEPTED FOR CREDIT FOR THE MINOR. Students must receive the permission of their advisor before starting in this program. Minor credit is not given for MSP grades below C.
