Program Description

The study of journalism, mass communication, and specialized media combines high-level professional training with a broad foundation in the liberal arts. All students complete a common 24-credit core, including writing, multimedia, and conceptual courses, as well as a capstone course. Students work closely with their Academic Success Coordinator and Faculty Advisors to select an additional 22 credits in a focus area crafted to match their career interests with options in Journalism and Storytelling, Media Production and Strategic Communication.

The Department of Journalism and Media Communication is one of a relatively small number of departments formally recognized by the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications. Participation in volunteer activities, cooperative education opportunities, or communication-related part time jobs is highly recommended to enhance practical training and development.
