Make Your Passion Your Profession

Are you constantly creating content, sharing videos, or dreaming of going viral for something meaningful? Whether you're into sports, news, entertainment, or social media, our Digital Storytelling Minor helps you turn your passion into a powerful career.

What Is Digital Storytelling?

It’s more than just posting on TikTok or editing YouTube videos. Digital Storytelling is about learning how to craft compelling stories through video, audio, and social media — and mastering skills like live television broadcast production and online news reporting to shape how people see the world. Students who choose this path will benefit from:

Hands-On Experience: Learn how to shoot, edit, and produce content for platforms like Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok.

Real-World Skills: Build your portfolio with projects in sports reporting, journalism, corporate video, and social media.

Creative and Critical Thinking: Explore how digital media influences culture, identity, and society — and how you can be part of that conversation.

Career-Readiness - Prepare for jobs like:

  • Sports Broadcaster
  • Blogger/Vlogger
  • Social Media Content Creator
  • News Reporter
  • Field Journalist
  • Corporate Communications Specialist
  • Digital Promotions Producer
