BA/BS in Journalism

The news media major trains students to gather, analyze and present information for varied audiences. Coursework covers reporting and editing, layout, broadcast, video and multimedia work, plus media history, law and ethics. Students report on subjects as varied as government, society, athletics, cuisine, fashion and travel. The program frames journalism as a public service that keeps information trustworthy, and it points out that the writing and evidence-gathering skills carry over to business, law, education and other professions.
