Syracuse Launches Creator Economy Minor

The creator economy is exploding—with a $250 billion market set to double by next year—and universities are finally catching up. Syracuse University just launched a minor in the creator economy, aiming to turn students into digital entrepreneurs, not just influencers. One standout: Dylan McKinley, a recent grad whose YouTube channel “Dylandoesbasketball” now boasts 220K subs and made money via sponsorships after his Nikola Jokic video went viral. Syracuse’s Newhouse School is equipping students with real-world skills in strategy, production, and analytics, and even named McKinley their top creator. This isn’t just about being on camera—it’s about building sustainable, profitable online careers. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
