Journalism Advising Track

This program stresses the basics of news and feature writing in a real life setting. Students gain practical experience as they produce the student newspaper, The Corsair. Internships with area publications may be available to students who excel. Required courses provide the liberal arts background that most universities and editors recommend.

Each student should consult with an advisor at the college or university they plan to attend for the specific courses recommended by that institution. The interested student should contact the English and Communications Department for assistance in planning the program of study.
