Required outside the Journalism Major

All JO&MC majors are required complete either a MINOR or an 18 credit "specialization" outside the JO&MC Department. This requirement is specifically designed to assist our majors in developing areas of expertise outside of journalism. Students may complete a formal minor in another department, or they may create a self-designed "specialization" consisting of a minimum of 18 credits chosen in consultation with a faculty adviser. Our students frequently elect to do minors in the following areas: Global Studies, English, Political Science, Economics, Sociology, International Business, Art, Philosophy, Music, Theater, French and Spanish.
