In the journalism and media studies major, students learn to write and report by covering the metropolitan region around them--from Newark to New York City. Journalism is taught as part of a liberal arts education that blends theory and practice. Courses explore writing, reporting, ethics, the history of journalism, contemporary media issues, and multimedia. Some classes may require a laboratory fee. An internship is required for both the major and minor. Students majoring in journalism and media studies work for print, online, and broadcast news organizations. Others have gone on to graduate school and law school.
The major in journalism and media studies is offered through the Department of Arts, Culture and Media (ACM). ACM houses programs and/or majors in art, graphic design, art history, media studies (with majors in journalism and video production), music, and theater. Each major includes an ACM core sequence requirement. Taking advantage of the range of disciplines in ACM and the campus mission to engage with its community, the core combines an integrated sequence of classes, shaped in large part by projects drawn from the urban region surrounding the university. The sequence consists of three classes: Introduction to Arts, Media, and Culture, a class designated by each program that combines interdisciplinary pedagogy with a student's major, and either Colloquium in Arts, Culture and Media or
Seminar in Arts, Culture and Media.
