Journalism Minor

Department of Journalism and the Writing Professions

The minor in Journalism provides students in business, public affairs, and liberal arts with a range of courses to strengthen their writing and communications skills. This minor is particularly recommended for students preparing for careers in media, law, business, politics, and with nonprofit organizations. Students should note that many of the 4000-level capstone courses have prerequisites. In choosing 3000-level courses, students should keep in mind that capstone course, so as to meet its prerequisite requirements.

To fulfill the liberal arts minor with a concentration in journalism, students are required to complete a minimum of nine credits, including two courses at the 3000-level or above and one course at the 4000- or above, drawn from the curriculum of the Department of Journalism and the Writing Professions. All journalism courses at the 4000-level or above, except for the Media Internship ( JRN 5050, JRN 5051, or JRN 5052), may serve as the capstone course.

Students are expected to complete the minor requirements in place at the time they are officially accepted into their programs. Please review the College Bulletin for the relevant academic year.
