welcome to the journalism department

The SCSU Journalism Department offers an array of courses taught by full-time faculty who are veteran journalists, as well as part-time faculty currently working in the field.

Journalism majors usually begin the sequence of courses needed to fulfill their graduation requirements by taking JRN 200 - Basics of Journalism. This usually begins after the student has completed the prerequisite for the course, ENG 112.

Students wishing to get their first taste of journalism don't have to wait until then, however; they can take JRN 101 -The Media: Freedom & Power. This course is an all-university requirement.

We offer the Bachelor of Arts, and Bachelor of Science degrees.  Either degree provides the liberal arts background necessary for careers in news media and allied fields, such as business and public service, and for  law school or other related graduate programs.
