Journalism (JR)

Course offerings in Journalism prepare students for careers in journalism and are centered around four principles: Discovery, Adapt, Illuminate, and Respect. Using traditional practice and innovation, these courses are committed to training ethical journalists who can write compelling, original news stories – and bring those stories to life through broadcast, print, web, and multimedia platforms.
