पाठ्यक्रमबारे सारश

This program prepares students for leadership roles in rapidly changing media by requiring a strong core of journalism courses within the rich context of a liberal arts education. Courses are designed to foster analytical and critical thinking skills and to teach students to communicate effectively with a mass audience. The program emphasizes hands-on learning. Students select either a print or electronic emphasis in their professional skills courses. Majors choosing a print emphasis have the opportunity to write for a daily newspaper. Students who select the electronic track gain on-air experience at the university radio station and report, anchor, videotape and produce a newscast aired on a local cable channel. Graduates are prepared for jobs as reporters and editors for print, broadcast and online media, and for positions as assignment editors, producers, managing editors, publishers and new media entrepreneurs. Courses are also offered for students interested in specialized careers such as sports reporting, business writing, arts criticism or graphic design.
