BA/BS in Journalism

Journalism prepares students for careers reporting the news through digital and broadcast channels. Entry is selective, so applicants send a separate application straight to the school that runs the major. Students pick a focus. The digital option fits future reporters, writers, photographers and editors for websites, papers and magazines. The electronic option fits students aiming for broadcast roles such as reporter, producer, anchor or sports journalist. Faculty urge majors to get involved with a student news outlet. Internships with news organizations are possible off campus, each overseen by a faculty advisor and subject to a GPA minimum in major courses. The program is part of the Sciences college at the University of Central Florida in Orlando, Florida. Prospective students can use the program page to learn more, request information and review degree requirements and application deadlines before applying. Tuition is charged per credit hour, with separate rates for Florida residents and out-of-state students.
