Overview

A Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in Journalism at Elon University requires 52 credit hours in Communications, plus the 2-hour GST 115 Public Speaking course.

Emmanuel Morgan ’19, a sports reporter for The New York Times, has always had a knack for storytelling. Investigating important issues that inform, educate and empower the public comes naturally to the former Elon journalism major.

At Elon, Morgan displayed a tenacious work ethic, serving as a consistent presence in student media while completing internships with the Charlotte Observer, Atlanta Journal-Constitution and News21. But he credits Elon’s journalism faculty for serving as a driving force in his career.

The university's six schools serve a selective student body of about 7,000. Elon is one of only seven private universities in the country with accredited schools of business, communications, education, law and health sciences, plus a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the nation's oldest and most prestigious academic honor society.

Features

Students must complete a minimum of 72 credit hours outside of Communications, including an academic minor or double major or a semester abroad in an Elon-approved program.
