Journalism Minor

students in classA 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 or Dunklee for advisement.
