ماذا سوف أتعلم؟
In our interdisciplinary Journalism major, study how news organizations report daily events and learn to report and produce your own journalistic work for multimedia platforms. Learn about the importance of the First Amendment and a free press and develop advanced reporting and producing skills to succeed in the ever-evolving media landscape. Journalism graduates seek careers in many areas. This program provides students with a liberal arts approach to integrated journalism (print, broadcast, and web) focusing on proficiency in critical thinking, writing, reporting, and editing. These skills prepare students for careers in print and broadcast journalism, new media, related professions, and graduate studies. The program further emphasizes the importance of acting as ethical and productive members of the media and the community at large. In addition, all journalism students must choose and complete a second major. Our students are well-prepared for any job requiring content creation for TV, radio, print or web. Graduates may become magazine editors, newspaper or TV reporters, freelance writers, copywriters or podcast hosts. Typically, about 10% pursue graduate degrees in fields such as journalism, creative writing, literature, technical writing, history or law. Grads of the last decade or so work in every facet of journalism in every part of the country – and even beyond: the Associated Press, Fox News, MSNBC, CNBC, National Public Radio, ABC, The Washington Post, Sierra magazine and The Chronicle of Higher Education to name a few, along with plenty at TV stations, radio stations and newspapers/sites across the state of Ohio. We keep close tabs on our grads – who are always ready and willing to visit classes, support our travel programs and provide key networking help to Miamians who follow behind them.
