Overview

In addition to general journalism or public relations, students may choose to specialize their coursework or earn certificates to complement other degrees. Options include sports journalism, advertising and more.

Through our curriculum and community and professional opportunities, you gain experience that will set you apart, and learn to package that experience on your resume in a portfolio, on a DVD, via LinkedIn and all the other mechanisms that will help you launch your career.
