Journalism

The world is full of amazing stories. In our Journalism program, you’ll learn how to discover and report them. You’ll ask tough questions, peek behind the scenes and tell stories that make an impact.

Graduates of the Journalism program leave with versatile skills that employers value across industries: clear writing, multimedia expertise, sharp analysis, ethical judgement and the ability to communicate complex ideas to diverse audiences.

Rooted in the First Amendment, the Journalism program is built on the belief that informed communities are stronger, more engaged and more just. As Thomas Jefferson observed, “Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost.” Guided by the Society of Professional Journalists’ code of ethics, the program emphasizes accuracy, fairness, transparency and responsibility.
