Digital & Media Job Opportunities
Job Outlook
For students interested in further study in Digital Humanities, Library and Information Science, Instruction Design, or Master’s level programs in a humanities content area, a core humanities minor is recommended.
For students looking to join the workforce after graduation in such areas as web content developer/SEO, social media marketing, technical writing, editing, a core marketing minor is recommended.
Because of the reasonable credit hour threshold for the major, students can easily complete a minor in addition to this program which would allow for both humanities study and marketing or some combination of humanities minors, further increasing students’ skill set.
