Double Majoring

Majoring or double-majoring in media production doesn’t necessarily mean a student intends to “go to Hollywood” or work in television broadcasting. Every industry - from nursing to accounting to geology - needs employees that are conversant with media production tools and techniques to communicate effectively. A Media Production double-major is a way to distinguish yourself in your field and offer dynamic, forward-looking skill sets to employers. 

The Media Production major at Saint Mary’s is a modest, interdisciplinary curriculum that was designed to offer students an opportunity to easily double major across disciplines. MP can be paired with virtually any other Saint Mary’s major in a feasible four-year graduation plan. Here a few of the more popular and/or industry-friendly MP double-major pairings:

• Media Production, BA + Computer Science, BS
