Key Summary

    About: The BA in Journalism provides a comprehensive education in media practices, covering news writing, digital journalism, and reporting techniques. It equips students with skills needed to thrive in a fast-paced media environment, emphasizing critical thinking and ethical standards.
    Career Outcomes: Graduates may pursue careers as reporters, editors, content creators, public relations specialists, or media analysts, working in various platforms like newspapers, online media, and broadcast outlets. They may also find opportunities in corporate communications and social media management.

In an increasingly complicated world, where the very idea of objective truth is being challenged, it falls to journalists to dig, untangle, and tell us what' going on … before the facts are brushed away.

As a journalism major, you’ll learn how to gather, assess, and disseminate information and ideas. You’ll be challenged to find new ways of thinking, and new ways of approaching problems.

Armed with an ability to critically evaluate and clearly communicate, graduates will not only be able to define issues and ideas to others, but will look at everything through a new lens themselves.
