welcome to the journalism department

The SCSU Journalism Department offers an array of courses taught by full-time faculty who are journalistic veterans, as well as part-time faculty who are 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, both providing the broad liberal arts background necessary for careers in the news media and in allied fields, such as business and public service, and for further study in law or graduate school.
