AA/AS in Journalism

Journalism at LBCC gives first- and second-year students a grounding in reporting, photography, writing and editing. Hands-on practice comes through a working relationship with The Commuter, the college's student newspaper. Students aiming for Oregon State can follow the Journalism and Mass Communication emphasis, which leads into the New Media Communications program and its digital communication arts major. A statewide transfer map is also available for anyone targeting a different Oregon university, and advisors help match courses to the chosen destination. Program maps and catalog entries on the college website lay out the course sequence term by term. Working with an advisor early helps students line up credits with the destination university and avoid repeating classes. Tuition follows the college's standard rate rather than a program-specific price, and prospective students can ask for further details through an online request form.
