The Journalism Minor is available to any student interested in engaging
with the world through reporting and writing. We welcome students from
diverse disciplines. Written journalism is the foundation of the minor,
although students can learn to report for a variety of formats,
including multimedia. Students are expected to leave campus and learn
the city in their reporting assignments. Students are encouraged to
produce stories for audiences and clips for internships and entry-level
work. Courses include arts reviewing, feature writing and reporting for
audio and video. The minor emphasizes the role of the journalist in a
community committed to social justice.
