Offered by Cook College in cooperation with the
Department of Journalism and Media Studies (School of Communication,
Information and Library Studies), the curriculum offers a dynamic
program of skills and conceptual courses devoted to the practice and
social impact of journalism. Course offerings enhance understanding of
the historical, legal, political, and critical dimensions of journalism
as practiced in a free and democratic society. The program, as offered
through Cook College, provides an opportunity for students to develop
expertise that will contribute to the public understanding and
discussion of issues in the life sciences and environment.
While all majors in journalism and media studies are considered
news-editorial students, they may focus their course work in print,
broadcast, or the media studies area. Students also may elect to pursue
a research thesis and/or internship.
Journalism is a 30-credit
major. Students are encouraged to pursue further study of the arts and
sciences and more specialized areas of expertise. Cook College students
are further required to complete a minor or certificate program offered
by the Cook College faculty. Communication courses (04:189) are not
included in the 30-credit limit on journalism courses (04:567).
