Fundamental journalistic skills鈥攊dentifying questions, obtaining answers, then communicating them effectively鈥攁re huge advantages in virtually every profession. With the Journalism minor, students of all majors can begin to learn how to find engaging topics, locate and interview key sources, analyze and visualize important data, and present impactful material in written, audio/visual, and interactive forms across media platforms.

The Journalism minor also allows students to explore journalism鈥檚 role in democracy; to assess how well journalism is meeting its responsibility to engage, enlighten, and empower citizens; and to participate in an ever-changing world of media delivery and consumption.

Students explore introductory principles in four courses in writing, history, ethics, and law, which also may fulfill General Education requirements, then choose at least two elective courses, which again may meet Gen Ed requirements, from a list that includes research and practical courses. At least 18 hours, six or more of them at the 300 or 400 level, are required.
