Courses from Other Departments Approved for MDST Credit

Students may apply two (2) electives from outside the Media Studies Department (in addition to Practice of Media) to fulfill major requirements. This includes study abroad, classes taken in other departments at UVA, and transfer credits from other US institutions. 

If you see a course with a media focus in another department you would like take, you can have it evaluated by submitting this form to our Director of Undergraduate Programs (DUP). 

Courses offered by other departments that have been approved to count as Media Studies electives include those listed below. You will find other courses on our Practice of Media and Diversity & Inclusion lists of approved courses.

Note that one-time and outside courses are not always automatically reflected in SIS. If you find one of these classes is not counting toward the major, contact Bill Barker at tmu9xg@virginia.edu.
