Bachelor of Arts in Multimedia Journalism

International Communication

The Multimedia Journalism major provides instruction in journalism theory and practice with a curriculum that recognizes the field’s expansion beyond its traditional boundaries to encompass new techniques and concepts. Though contemporary multimedia journalism is very much a work in progress still seeking its voice, it has embraced interactivity, user-provided content and new forms of media that have altered accepted notions of news cycle and coverage, from Google News to YouTube and Twitter.

The Multimedia Journalism curriculum offers students an opportunity for training and practical experience in news and feature reporting in a variety of forms and seeks to equip students with the skills necessary to provide content in written and visual forms for use in broadcast, print and Internet media, as well as performance technique.

Students interested in using the communication media to find and tell stories of importance and engage the audience in the development of history will find the Multimedia Journalism major an opportunity to enter a vital profession with a global reach and a worthy goal: an informed citizenry.
