Major Details

Majors take courses in journalism, literature and writing as well as from other A&S departments and other colleges within the university including electronic media (CCM) and communication (A&S). The major also requires a minor in another academic discipline.

To graduate, all Journalism majors must complete two internships. The journalism internship program boasts a solid placement record. Unique internship opportunities have been offered for more than 35 years.

In addition to completing the courses and internships required for Journalism, all majors must complete a minor or other type of program approved by the undergraduate program director. Students might elect to minor in English, a foreign language, Business, Information Technology (offered by the College of Applied Science), Political Science or many others. Other students opt to complete a double major instead of a minor.
