 Return to: Majors, Minors, and Certificates
Saint Mary’s Media Production Program offers students a multitude of pathways to pursue their passion in digital media storytelling, and prepares them for careers in increasingly media-focused job environments.
The Media Production major is a modestly-sized interdisciplinary degree that allows students to build individualized pathways by drawing upon production and studies electives from more than fifteen other programs and majors. Students that want to further invest in their media education can pair their major with a minor in Cinematic Arts, Community Media, or Sports Media.
Students can also easily double major in media production and another discipline, or simply pursue a Media Production Minor or Certificate to enhance their media literacy and technical skill building.
