By Daniel Cheung on Unsplash

Time is flying by, and it’s hard to believe we’re already halfway through the semester! With spring semester right around the corner, we at CCI want to ensure you have a smooth and stress-free registration process. Below, you’ll find a list of courses along with important information about the CCI minor to help you plan your upcoming schedule. While we’re thrilled for you to explore the fascinating classes being offered, please take a moment to review each course’s topics carefully. Some classes have different subjects depending on the section, so this sneak peek will help you make informed choices for spring.


Here are a few quick facts to know before diving into the courses:

  • You do NOT need to take CCI courses in a specific order!

  • If your catalog year lists CCI 300 - Media Culture and Emotion, you can take CCI 444 - Media Culture and Emotion instead; it will fulfill the same requirement for your catalog year.

  • You have up to two substitutions available for use in the CCI minor.


Lastly, mark your calendar—registration begins on November 4th!
