Interactive Media and Design Minor

The IMD minor is centered on a foundation of courses in Business, Technology, and Design. Students develop an awareness and appreciation of all three of these areas and then choose a specialization within ETBD for two elective courses. The IMD minor is designed to help provide digital literacy for students who are curious about how emerging media and technology impact their major. Admission into the ETBD minor is competitive. Admission details can be found at https://miamioh.edu/cca/departments/emerging-technology-in-business-and-design/admission/index.html.
