The Bachelor of Arts in Journalism (B.A.J) is a degree through the Media School which provides the necessary skills and technology to thrive in the field. The goal is for undergraduates to learn how to think critically, creatively, and independently. More concrete skills that are taught include conducting research, evaluating information, writing, and editing in a variety of different media formats.
There are two concentrations available for a B.A.J:
News Reporting and Editing
Social and Digital Media
In addition to choosing one of the above concentrations, students complete a second concentration that is not in the field of journalism to broaden their knowledge base and refine their skill set. The second concentration can be related to a career goal or personal interest and may be part of a minor or certificate program, or second major in the College of Arts and Sciences.
