Journalism Minor
Department: Communication
The minor allows students to develop journalistic skills — writing, editing, sourcing, interviewing, etc. — while learning the necessary technical capabilities, the history and ethics of the field, the legal underpinnings, the social responsibility of journalists, and a broader understanding of the news media industry and its practices.
Students will find these skills applicable in a variety of careers, whether they intend to pursue a news media or communications job, graduate or legal study, or any pursuit requiring strong writing skills, knowledge of public affairs, and critical thinking.
