Step One: The Communications Core Requirements
The major requires three core courses that explore the areas of media and society, writing and editing, visual culture and the technology currently driving emerging media. A blend of theory and hands-on, practical projects prepares students for further developmental work in one of the department's concentrations of study.
Students should complete the three core courses by the end of the second year of study in a four-year program. A student should declare a major at the end of the sophomore year. In this recommended sequence, the student would complete the core and then choose a track to declare at this time.
Step Two: Three required courses
Step Three: Three electives, at least one at the 300-level
Step Four: COMM 344 Senior Seminar/Storytelling
Step Five: Independent Learning
We encourage our students to tailor the Journalism concentration to fit their interests. Simmons offers many dual-major and minor options. Your advisor will help you develop the best path to meet your personal and professional goals.
We also offer a minor in Journalism for students majoring in other areas.
