Business Degrees
Professional media organizations recognize the need for employees with broad multimedia and business skills. The typical media training program, however, concentrates on technical training in a single area.
At Globe University/Minnesota School of Business, we offer the Bachelor of Science (BS) in Media Business as a route for the student who wants to build on a technical degree and prepare for a broader role in the multimedia industry. The program is offered in Woodbury, Minneapolis (at the IDS Center), Saint Cloud, Richfield, Brooklyn Center and through Globe University Online.
A “2 + 2” Degree: Associate in Media + Bachelor’s in Media Business
This is a “2 + 2” program. A wide range of associate degrees in multimedia fields satisfy the first two years of program requirements. The student then completes upper division coursework in three areas: business, media-focused topics and general education.
Qualifying technical preparation
Entrance to the Bachelor’s in Media Business degree program requires an applicant to have an Associate of Applied Science or Associate of Arts degree that includes 60 quarter credits in an area of technical specialization and 30 general education quarter credits. (A semester credit will be evaluated as 1.5 quarter credits.) The following are examples of qualifying creative specialities:
