Arizona State University’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication has introduced a Bachelor of Arts in Content Creation. The program aims to train students for the creator economy through a curriculum focused on personal branding, video and podcast production, audience development, and content monetization.

To provide hands-on experience, the major includes opportunities such as working in the Los Angeles Content Studio, media internships, and content-creation trips abroad. While some view the degree as a way to monetize social media platforms, it has also faced skepticism regarding its long-term value and income potential for graduates.
