Having a photography minor alongside a (communications) journalism major has given me a more in-depth and creative understanding of an already existing aspect of journalism. Additionally, I had the opportunity to explore the relationship between my major and minor in a summer study abroad journalism and photography program that took place in the south of France.

Simply put, a minor is a secondary focus in addition to your major. It allows you to take a couple of classes in an area that interests you, while still pursuing your major. If there are areas of study you want to explore outside of your major, then a minor is for you.
Not only do minors allow you to explore your interests, but minors can help set you apart when seeking employment post-graduation. They also open your studies to new classes, professors, and professional connections.
Minors at Chatham are easy to obtain with most requiring five to six courses for a total of 15-18 credit hours. Your academic advisor will work closely with you to make sure that you graduate on track with the minor or minors you desire.
