Get a Minor in Media Studies
Nearly any student would benefit from a media studies degree. Our program is flexible so you can weave it into your education in a way that works for you. We offer a media studies minor for UO students outside the SOJC.
Hands-On Learning, Real-World Experience
Focus on Your Passion
Our media studies major offers four tracks to help you prepare for the careers that most inspire you. In Documentary Study and Production you’ll research the art and impact of the medium and build video production skills. Media Technologies and Society examines and assesses the impact of emerging media technologies on our everyday lives. In Media Structures and Regulation, you’ll analyze and influence the laws and policies surrounding emerging media. And Culture, Power, and the Media explores the power dynamics of the media.
Become a Real Researcher
Students in our program do real research—and not just in the library. Work with a faculty advisor to develop your thesis for the SOJC Honors program or Clark Honors College. Build your portfolio and deepen your understanding of international media as you study Ghana's emerging media presence in the Media in Ghana program. Present your work at an academic symposium. Or gain hands-on experience as an intern at media outlets around the state, the nation, or the world. The possibilities are endless.
