Education: Journalism, Grades 5-12

A Bachelor of Science in the Secondary Education Anchor Program (Journalism Grades 5-12) prepares you for one Indiana teaching license that covers both junior high/middle school and high school.

Passionate and engaged journalism educators do more than introduce their students to media. They help transform their students into critical writers and help them understand and appreciate the importance of mass communication.

Journalism is a subcategory of Secondary Education, which requires students to take courses that help develop instructional techniques in a variety of communication topics, ranging from media ethics to graphic design. Students complete classes in reporting, writing and editing, communications law, and graphic design. They also have a choice of classes ranging from newspaper and magazine reporting to broadcast news and public relations writing and campaigns. These students will also receive a strong grounding in education theory, instructional methodologies, and content area coursework to aid them in creating a safe and expressive environment for their future students.
