*New* Major Declaration Process Beginning Fall 2024
Effective Fall 2024, the new declaration requirements for the Media Studies major will be as follows:
- Complete the four (4) prerequisites with a grade of a C or better in each course.
- Have a Media Studies GPA of 2.0 or higher. This major GPA will include all Media Studies-relevant courses including their completed prerequisites, core courses, and electives
- Students are strongly encouraged to declare the major as soon as they are eligible to allow ample time to complete all degree requirements within the L&S Unit Ceiling and Semester Limits.
These changes will be effective Fall 2024 and you can find FAQs about the changes on the Media Studies Applying Overview page. If you have any other questions, please email your inquiry to mediastudies_advising@
