High school journalists can earn college credit and gain valuable insight into the field this summer by participating in the Journalism Institute, an intense month-long program at The University of Mississippi. The program is part of Ole Miss' Summer College for high school students which brings participants together in month-long sessions throughout the summer to participate in a variety of programs intended to foster intellectual and cultural growth. The Journalism Institute will conduct one session from July 5 to Aug. 6.
Students can earn six hours of academic credit.
Each student will take Journalism 102, an introductory course taught by Dr. Stuart Bullion, chair of journalism. Students will take one other three-hour course of their choice. In addition to the course work, students will have the opportunity to work with the various student media, including The Daily Mississippian, Channel 12 Newswatch and Rebel Radio. The journalism program and student media are located in Farley Hall on the Oxford campus. The Daily Mississippian is the only daily college newspaper in the state.
