Overview
The Department of Journalism offers a minor in mass media and communications, and a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and Master of Arts (M.A.) in journalism. The B.A. in journalism students must complete an emphasis in either news-editorial journalism or in broadcast journalism. News- editorial and broadcast students may further specialize in public relations, and news-editorial students may specialize in magazine service journalism.
Accreditation
The undergraduate program is accredited by the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications.
For the M.A., in addition to meeting Graduate School admission requirements, applicants must submit a letter detailing their reasons for wishing to pursue a M.A. in journalism. Please send this letter directly to the Department of Journalism. Applicants also should provide three letters of recommendation, including one addressing the applicant’s mass media experience, if applicable.
Applicants who do not have the equivalent of an undergraduate major in journalism will be required to take 12 hours of approved undergraduate journalims (Jour) courses (reduced by any acceptable undergraduate journalism hours that have been completed). Students who do not have the equivalent of an undergraduate major in journalism but who have work experience in the field may submit appropriate credentials and work samples to be considered in lieu of undergraduate courses.
