Communicating Through Digital Channels

Students in the digital media marketing minor can supplement the core focus of their education in another degree area with a secondary area of expertise in marketing. While a minor in marketing could make sense for a lot of different students, we often see students whose primary disciplines are communication, sports management, music business, graphic design, English, and health, fitness & recreation.

In this program, you'll learn what's needed to write and post blogs, create press releases, track metrics and maintain business digital media platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest, and Instagram.

Performance Learning

Performance Learning initiatives for third parties in the community could include creating an integrated marketing communication campaign, designing a social media strategy for a student-run venture or local business, or competing in an international online marketing challenge.
