Management

A minor in management requires five courses, three required and two chosen by the student to meet personal educational goals. These courses, chosen in consultation with a program counselor, should represent a coherent study of management relative and complementary to the student's major.

Creative Writing Major

Live out your personal passion for creativity in the rigorous Creative Writing major. It’s one of the few in Ohio to highlight creative nonfiction in addition to fiction, poetry, and screenwriting.

Film Studies Minor

The Film Studies minor teaches students about the history, interpretation, and creation of film as an art form that enables personal and cultural expression, as well as a documentary form that allows people to comment on the world around them.

This minor prepares students well for a wide variety of careers that will require them to design, write, and produce films for multiple markets and audiences.

As students in this minor, they will be knowledgeable in the traditions and conventions of this art form so that they can be savvy writers, directors, and producers. Students will learn the history of filmmaking, the techniques of film analysis, and the process of filmmaking, among other valuable skills. Therefore, film studies minors think critically about films they encounter in the world and become active, rather than passive, consumers.
