Journalism Minor
A minor in journalism can help students in every field, from anthropology and art,
to sociology, special education, and theater. Many students choose journalism as a
major or as a minor in their pre-professional studies for careers in law or public
service. Journalism is also helpful for students interested primarily in specialized
writing in the area of their interest, such as business and economics, environmental
studies, and political science. Many students with liberal studies majors select journalism
as one of their three minors. Graduates soon discover that the ability to write easily
and well is as important an asset in their careers as it was during their college
years. For a minor in journalism, students should contact professors Harris, Dunklee
or Simoneau for advisement.
