AA/AS in Journalism

Students in this associate of applied arts program learn reporting and storytelling with both classic tools and newer ones including VR, phone apps, panoramic photos and social platforms. Each learner chooses one of three tracks, including news and information and visual journalism. Every track ends with a capstone, either an internship or a team project in the Media Innovation Lab serving a real audience or client. Graduates can aim for jobs as reporters, copy and assignment editors, social media specialists or public information officers. The Journalism & Integrated Media program is planned as 5 semesters and 63 credits, using a mix of in-person and online delivery. Delta College publishes an estimated cost covering tuition and fees, with separate figures for in-district, out-of-district and out-of-state students. Prospective students can also talk with a Student Success Advisor about career goals and pathways. Course sequences and transfer options are listed on the program page.
