Program details

Overview

Journalism for Transfer is a degree that Grossmont created under California's STAR Act for students bound for a participating California State University campus. Finishing it shows that a student has done the lower-division preparation expected of a similar CSU journalism major. The coursework supplies core knowledge for bachelor-level study. Students are expected to use discipline knowledge and skills and to carry out journalism across multiple media formats. The field opens paths into digital and broadcast news, social media, copy editing, news management, digital communications, and public relations, and it also supports work in politics, education, and management. Completion also requires the Cal-GETC general education pattern and a grade of C or Pass in each course for the major.
