The first semester covers introductory and basic skills courses, while the second semester focuses on advanced practices, building toward work in real-world newsrooms and communications settings that value accuracy, integrity, and meeting deadlines. The program has a minimum duration of one year and begins with a September intake. Enrolment is limited; applicants must meet Langara College's general admission requirements.
