British Communication and Media
The cross disciplinary British communication and media minor enables students to expand their knowledge of communication and media in Great Britain, and to enhance their appreciation of the impact culture has on communication and media. Students must participate in the JMU semester or summer in London program to complete this minor.
The minor requires at least 18 credit hours, chosen from courses offered both at JMU and in London. Students may double-count a maximum of six credit hours toward both a major and this minor.
