Overview

The Journalism program here at Loyola Marymount University has as its pedagogical foundation the hands-on approach of project-based learning, which connects our students to communities and lives whose stories transmit issues of social, political, cultural, and moral import.

Key Features

The journalism faculty at LMU are all dedicated professors who still actively work as journalists.
Students work very closely on intensive projects with the Fletcher Jones Chair of Literature and Writing, a Nieman Fellow, and an Annenberg Fellow, among others.
Students can begin their Major their first year or declare it later.
