Journalism Programs

As a journalism major you have the option of studying for the B.A. or the B.S. degree. Both programs offer the broad liberal arts background necessary for careers in the media and in allied fields, such as business and human services, and for further study in law or graduate school. The B.A. degree consists of 30 credits in journalism and emphasizes writing skills, information gathering and related studies in the liberal arts. The B.S. degree program consists of 39 credits in journalism and, in addition to writing skills and information gathering, emphasizes professional studies to meet requirements for specific careers.

We recommend that you participate in a student activity involving the news media, such as the student newspaper or the campus radio station. This experience provides practical applications for academic studies and will help prepare you for your internship.
