This is the preliminary (or launch) version of the 2024-2025 VCU Bulletin. We may add courses that expose our students to cutting-edge content and transformative learning. We may also add content to the general education program that focuses on racial literacy and a racial literacy graduation requirement, and may receive notification of additional program approvals after the launch. The final edition and full PDF version will include these updates and will be available in August prior to the beginning of the fall semester.
Any VCU student may apply for a minor in sound design and acceptance is based on an application review. The minor requires a minimum of 18 credits in the following courses, of which a minimum of nine credits must be at the 300 or 400 level.
