Journalism: Minor

Description

A Minor in Journalism is an excellent complement to a Major in many fields.

Employers in a very wide range of professions value the highly transferable skills the Journalism Minor offers: communicating clearly in a wide range of formats, working in a multimedia environment, and conducting relevant research.

Students with a Major in a different field and a Minor in Journalism are well-positioned to communicate about that field in a variety of ways and a variety of venues, including within their chosen profession, with the public, or as a specialist journalist.

Students have lots of flexibility in choosing among courses focusing on writing, photography and video work, interactive graphics, and more.
