The journalism and broadcasting curriculum offers a balance of professional and theory courses for majors and non-majors.
Majors take a variety of skills and theory courses while acquiring a strong liberal arts background.
Non-majors, including those minoring in journalism and broadcasting, may choose from a wide selection of courses. Besides gaining a solid academic backgound in the classroom, students get practical experience by working with media on and off campus. On campus, these include public television and public radio stations, a student-owned FM station and the campus newspaper. Off campus, students have opportunities to intern with a variety of radio and television stations, newspapers and other media-related businesses and organizations. The department is fully accredited by the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communication.
