Department of Journalism and the Writing Professions
This program will teach students how to function as business and financial journalists, for news organizations or on their own. Students will learn how to report on companies, analyze economic trends and find regional variations in them, understand financial markets and their impact on society, and write and produce business news for a wide range of outlets, including newspapers and magazines, television and radio and the Internet. The specialization will help students develop research, reporting, interviewing skills, and story ideas; learn to mine data; and communicate news to different audiences across media technologies.
Students are expected to complete the major requirements in place at the time they are officially accepted into their programs. Please review the College Bulletin for the relevant academic year.
