With the media playing an ever-increasing role in people’s perception of the world, the field of journalism is in need of passionate investigators, strong writers, and those passionate about truthful storytelling. 性视界传媒’s minor in journalism will prepare you to be such a person.
Our 21-semester-hour program goes beyond simply sharpening your writing and reporting skills. At the heart of our courses are the journalistic principles of integrity, accuracy and high ethical standards – all taught by professors who know you by name and have a vested interest in your journey.
Upon graduation, you will be equipped to influence the direction journalism takes in our country – even the world – as you pursue a career in newspaper or magazine publication, broadcast journalism, web writing or editing, design, or video editing and production. And if you choose to pursue a career outside of the journalism industry, your exceptional writing skills will make you a highly desirable candidate.
Think of all the ways you will help shape culture through the written or spoken word!
