Journalism Minor

The Journalism minor is designed for students interested in exploring the field of journalism and related careers in the media. The courses in the minor are cross-listed as both Communication and English courses as they have a strong emphasis on writing. Courses with either prefix will qualify for completion of the minor, although students intending to transfer to a four-year journalism program should take the course as a Communication course, with the COM prefix. This may make transferring into a four-year communication or journalism program easier.

Students enrolled in the Communication Studies (A.A.)  or the Liberal Arts & Sciences: Humanities and Social Sciences (A.A.) (Contains Transfer Paths)  programs may qualify for the associate in arts degree with the Journalism minor by completing a minimum of 12 credit hours in journalism courses as part of the regular sequence. Students enrolled in a curriculum other than Communication or Humanities may also meet the requirements of the Journalism minor while meeting the requirements of their own curriculum.
