The next step is to turn in the course request form to the journalism office. If the journalism school has room for you in the classes you request, you must still officially register for the class with the university. You may register by telephone through Dial Bear, or online through Cyberbear. But before you do, you'll meet with your adviser to review your proposed schedule and to get your advising number, which you'll need in order to register. In their freshman and sophomore years, pre-journalism students must take a sampling from the liberal arts as well as introductory journalism classes.
Students apply in the spring of their sophomore year to enter the professional journalism program.
If accepted, students being the professional program in the fall of their junior year. Those students who are admitted are placed in upper-level journalism classes. Your adviser will make sure you're taking journalism classes in the right order and at the right time.
