Minor Website

Program Description

Students enrolled in other undergraduate majors and schools at New York University are welcome to minor in Media, Culture, and Communication. Our department engages the sociological, political, and cultural dimensions of our media landscape. The program’s diverse faculty encourage MCC minors to think broadly and deeply about topics at the intersection of media and culture.

Minor Declaration

To request declaration of a minor, Steinhardt students should discuss requirements with the minor department’s advising team and complete the Minor Application in Albert. To request declaration of a cross-school minor, Steinhardt students should complete the online Minor Application available in their Albert Student Center. Students may also use the Minor Application in Albert to request cancellation of a Steinhardt or cross-school minor.
