About the major

This is not your parents’ journalism degree. We’re one of the oldest journalism schools in the nation, but we’re pioneering and teaching new and innovative approaches to the field—like solutions journalism, engaged journalism, data journalism, and more.

Our commitment to ethics define us as journalists. In our accredited program, you’ll develop the skills to tell an ethical, accurate, and compelling story in any medium while exploring new communication forms. You’ll learn about the roles of communication media in society, the history of journalism, research and writing for mass media, visual communication techniques, and the ethical, legal, and social responsibilities of the media in modern society.
