9.29.1 GENERAL INFORMATION

Two degree programs are offered: the Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Journalism and the Bachelor of Journalism (BJ). The BA in Journalism is a four-year, 120-credit hour degree consisting of two stages: two years of pre-journalism in the Faculty of Arts and a two year program in the School of Journalism. The BJ is a two-year, 60-credit hour degree designed for students with a previous degree who seek a specialization in journalism.

The School provides broadly-based courses in print-online, radio, and television journalism. Digital radio and television studios, cameras, editing, and mixing equipment are available to students. The School offers desktop publishing and internet facilities for the dissemination of student-produced stories. Students will critically analyze journalistic practice as well as produce stories for print and online newspapers, magazines, and radio and television newscasts.
