The 18-hour ISC minor offers students an understanding of the general principles of integrated strategic communication. The minor is open to students who are not currently majoring in ISC, who wish to enhance their degree program with credentials in strategic communication approaches for the commercial and not-for-profit world.
Any student wishing to minor in integrated strategic communication must meet the college’s selective admission requirements and earn a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 or greater in both minor pre-requisites (ISC 100 and ISC 161). Students cannot register for ISC minor elective courses until they have met the above requirements, successfully completed ISC 261 and been accepted into the ISC minor program.
For information on how to request a minor in integrated strategic communication please visit the “Majors and Minors” section of the CI Student Success FAQ.
