Digital Innovation Minor
This minor is completed by participating in the Digital Innovation program in San Francisco or Cincinnati. Students intern at some of the most dynamic and fastest growing startups in the world four days a week. One day each week, they get behind-the-scenes tours and once in a lifetime one-on-one coaching from top executives from startups, accelerators and venture funding. Additionally, students attend networking opportunities and help support the thriving startup culture in the cities they are placed.
Admission to the minor is contingent on acceptance to the Digital Innovation Program. Students will not be added to the minor for any reason prior to acceptance to the program.
IMPORTANT: If you began your first year at Miami before August 2019, your DAR will reflect the older version of the degree. You should follow your DAR, in consultation with your advisor. If you want to use these new requirements (on this page) instead, talk to your advisor about shifting your DAR to the new degree program.
