Overview

Journalism and Integrated Media at Biola University offers several key advantages:

Biola has several award-winning student media opportunities where you can hone your journalism skills, including The Chimes (newspaper), The Point (magazine), EagleVision (webcast), Biola Radio and The Biolan (yearbook).

Several off-campus programs are ideal for journalism majors, including the American Studies Program, Biola Shakespeare, the Scholars’ Semester in Oxford and others.

Biola’s location in Southern California — one of the world’s largest and most diverse metropolitan areas — is ideal for internships, field research and job opportunities.

To prepare students for the job market, every student must gain hands-on media experience and create a department-approved digital portfolio to demonstrate their work.

The program is intentionally cross-cultural, encouraging students to tell the stories of people who don’t speak their language and who are often invisible to mainstream culture.
