Influencer Degree Course: There is a massive craze these days about becoming an influencer. If you ask a teenager what they want to become, there is a strong possibility their answer will be "influencer." Now, students can even earn a college degree in this field. Arizona State University (ASU) in the US has recently launched a new bachelor's degree in Content Creation. This degree will be offered through the university's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication.

According to reports, the curriculum for the bachelor's degree in Content Creation closely resembles ASU's existing Mass Communication and Media Studies degrees. The key difference is the inclusion of elective subjects such as podcasting, studio production, and the art of presenting in front of the camera.

**Classes to be held online**
Arizona State University's BA in Content Creation program will be conducted online, with multiple enrollment sessions throughout the year. Applicants can visit ASU's online page for more details about the program.

Three years of lab science coursework are required.
ASU has not set requirements for a portfolio, YouTube channel, Instagram followers, or prior influencer experience for this BA program.

Applicants must achieve a minimum score of 7.0 in IELTS, 120 in Duolingo, 73 in PTE, 185 in Cambridge English, and 100 in TOEFL iBT.
