Few careers demand a more varied body of knowledge than does journalism.
Journalists today are constantly working with far-ranging and complex issues. The journalism curriculum at Eastern recognizes that the profession is both a discipline of its own and yet a fusion of many disciplines in our culture. Building on this necessity of a broad general education, Eastern journalism students take approximately three-fourths of their courses outside the professional program. In their junior year, students enter the Journalism Center in Spokane for a year-long program of study, using the City of Spokane as a learning laboratory. With few exceptions, only journalism courses will be taken during this time.
