Journalism Minor

Fall colors surrounding Quigley Hall.

The Journalism Minor program is designed to provide students with a supplemental set of skills through which they can apply their major program in their career development. The Journalism Minor emphasizes development of writing skills for newspaper, magazine, and electronic media production, with a focus on writing journalistically about issues related to or derivative from their major field—a serious need in complex modern societies.
