- Our core curriculum is built to put all first-year students on the same page. In these core courses, we'll teach you the Medill way of reporting, writing, editing and thinking critically.
- In addition to those core classes, every student selects a concentration in a discipline outside Medill. Here, you'll explore your passion for political science, history, economics, a foreign language, computer science and much more. You'll take a wide variety of courses to ensure a well-rounded education.
- Finally, we offer a wide variety of journalism electives. Choose courses that will help you build expertise in the areas you are most passionate about.
