Quarter Curriculum - For Reference Only
Effective fall 2013, RIT will convert its academic calendar from quarters to semesters. The following content has been made available as reference only. Currently matriculated students who began their academic programs in quarters should consult their academic adviser for guidance and course selection.
The print media minor introduces publishing to undergraduate students outside of the School of Print Media. Students may specialize in advertising and media strategy, contemporary publishing, digital imaging and pre-media, or print production. They also may elect to take courses across these areas. Students from the creative disciplines can learn about designing and distributing content in the world of integrated communications, which includes electronic as well as print formats. Business students may opt for learning about the role of advertising in the publishing media, or students from the sciences may choose to gain insight into the processes and materials of print production. Please note: Undergraduate students already enrolled in the School of Print Media are not eligible to take this minor.
Required Course:
