Curriculum
Our program combines skills courses, where the emphasis is on different types of journalistic writing, graphic design and photography, and reflective courses examining the social and political role of the media and its role in a democratic society. All courses build upon the foundation of liberal-arts knowledge that students bring from their other coursework.
All students will complete a 10-week practical experience with a media outlet and get experience with both reporting and producing the news.
