Bachelor of Science in Journalism - Print/Multimedia

The Journalism major prepares students for leadership roles in rapidly changing media by requiring a strong core of journalism courses within the rich context of a liberal arts education. Journalism students learn about industry structures, ethics, regulation, media law, history, and about the media's role in an increasingly diverse society. Students develop analytical and critical thinking skills to communicate with audiences across all media platforms. Three areas of interest prepare students for long-term careers as reporters, photographers, videographers, editors, publishers, producers, anchors, social media content managers, or other professions that require experience in writing, reporting, editing, curating, printing, broadcasting, web or social media. All students learn about traditional as well as new media. Capstone experience includes maintaining a daily multimedia blog. Students may write, edit, design and report for the independent, student-run, daily newspaper as well as other campus publications.
