You’ll graduate well-prepared for an exciting career in the rapidly evolving world of journalism. As a journalism major, your classes will span all areas of the field to give you a well-rounded understanding of the business as a whole—writing, photography, design, and more. But you’ll also have the chance to pick an area of specialization by earning your degree in one of four concentrations: journalism graphics, magazine media, news, or photojournalism.
