Three of the hours must include Introduction to Visual Communication and Culture (JMC 3700).

Nine of the total hours in the minor must be at the 3000-4000 level.  

Courses may not be used for both the VCC minor and other major or minor programs, without approval from both VCC and major advisors.

School of Communication classes that journalism and media communication majors apply toward the VCC minor must come from communication studies. School of Communication classes that communication studies majors apply toward the minor must come from journalism and media communication. All courses in the minor must be completed with a grade of “C” or higher.
