Overview

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 with this Journalism major at Miami University.

Given that journalists must be well-versed in many disciplines, we encourage our majors to select a field of study that excites them and could possibly inform their journalism. You’ll take a total of 13 journalism courses over four years, learning from a faculty with deep experience in the newsroom and the classroom.

Your studies will culminate with a rich senior capstone experience that brings your learning together.

Careers

Journalism graduates seek careers in many areas. 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.
