Our online distance education program offers students the opportunity to study a comprehensive curriculum in the Journalism degree program. Successful professional journalists must be able to gather, interpret, sort through, and describe events and facts. Their writing abilities can paint a vivid picture in the minds of the readers. Students in this field must recognize this and work hard to attain these skills.
Through this program students will learn the skills needed to succeed in this field. All of the courses are focused on the major. This allows students to maximize their learning in the core courses and succeed in their educational and career goals.
Students begin with the study of society and the press, news reporting and writing, ethics, proofreading and broadcast reporting. Specific courses focus on photo journalism, layout and design, copyrighting and international journalism. In the higher division courses students enter symposium and project courses where they are able to select more focused study in one area of Journalism, and complete a comprehensive project. Students then have the unique opportunity to take a practicum course. This course allows students to arrange for actual work in journalism, under supervision, in their own geographic area. This «hands-on» practicum provides students maximum opportunities to experience the real world of the specialty.
