An 18 credit minor is available as well, which includes three required courses. The three required courses are JN 102, JN 105 and JN 120. The remaining nine credits may be chosen from the courses JN 243, JN 250, JN 338, JN 344, JN 347 and JN 375. A six or 12 hour internship is available to students, but isn't required.
Internships are available only during the summer.
The majority of journalism courses are held in Davis Hall with a few exceptions. Here is a list of courses offered by the journalism department. A summary of the journalism courses offered and a brief description of the journalism department can be found in the IUP course catalog . No more than six credits of an internship may be counted toward the required 30 journalism major credits. Additional internship credits may be applied as free electives and no more than 12 internship credits may be counted in the 124 hours required for graduation.
