Undergraduate Minors

All School of Journalism and Communication (SOJC) students majoring in advertising, journalism and public relations must complete a minor outside of the SOJC as part of their “non-journalism” requirements. UO has 70+ minors to choose from and students are encouraged to explore their options early.

The SOJC offers two minors:

Media Studies

  • Open to all UO students who do not have a major in the SOJC.
  • Not available to SOJC students.
  • Provides an overview of mass communication.

*Effective Fall 2021* Science Communication

  • Open to all UO students, including SOJC students.
  • SOJC students may not use this minor for their “non-SOJC minor” requirement.
  • Provides an undergraduate focus on the issues, skills and scholarship growing around the science of science communication
