Requirements
Open to all majors. Twenty semester hours of coursework with a C (2.0) or better in each class complete the minor.
Two courses are required: 1) JOUR 2100 Introduction to Journalism and 2) JOUR 3300 Critical and Ethical Issues in Journalism. In addition, students must take three Journalism electives, equivalent to 12 semester hours, which can include any other JOUR courses. The lower division requirement JOUR 2100 Introduction to Journalism gives Journalism minors a foundation for further study by acquainting them with journalistic formats, instilling news literacy, and teaching the fundamentals of reportage. Students may be exempted from taking JOUR 2100 Introduction to Journalism and instead enroll in JOUR 2210 Writing for Journalism: Workshop if students can demonstrate (via résumé and portfolio) significant secondary or post-secondary journalism proficiency and experience.
