Business of Entertainment, Media, and Technology with the Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development, and the Tisch School of the Arts

New York City is home to major sectors of the entertainment and media industries, including major media conglomerates, network television, independent film, book and magazine publishing, advertising, and two of the largest cable companies. This cross-school minor includes courses from Stern School of Business, Tisch School of the Arts, and Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. It provides a foundation in the business aspects of media and entertainment and examines how technology impacts these industries. Students take electives from areas that deepen their knowledge base and understanding of these sectors.


BUSINESS OF ENTERTAINMENT, MEDIA, AND TECHNOLOGY (BEMT) MINOR REQUIREMENTS (16 CREDITS)

Stern students cannot count a required course from the Business Core or from their major toward the minor. All students are required to take 8 credits of their minor at Stern. All students must take the following core requirement:

Entertainment and Media Industries
C55.0040
Note: Students are highly encouraged to take this course first because it serves as a foundation class for the study of this minor. Steinhardt students majoring in media, culture, and communication may take E59.1020, the Business of Media (4 credits) instead of C55.0040, but must still complete 8 credits at Stern as part of the minor.

Plus 6 credits of additional electives in Stern (any “C” course). The remaining 8 credits must be taken through either the Steinhardt or Tisch courses listed below.*

For Stern Students: If a course is not listed below and a student would like to count it toward the minor, please submit the request to the Stern Undergraduate College Office of Academic Advising. The office will request permission from the BEMT academic director. If the course is approved for the minor and is offered by Tisch (versus Stern), the student must follow procedures for nonmajors wishing to take film courses.
