The corollary totals a minimum of 32 credit hours (20 at the 300-400 level), from no more than two areas. For instance, students in the video production sequence might choose courses from the School of Film, while students interested in politics and the media might find courses from the political science area useful.

32 credit hours of corollary courses outside the School of Media Arts and Studies that support program goals (from no more than two areas with at least 20 hours at the 300-400 level). Music Production sequence requires a music minor that will complete the corollary.
