Department's Web site

The School of Journalism, a unit of the College of Arts and Sciences, helps prepare students for careers in news media and related fields. It emphasizes skills in writing, editing, information gathering, videography, computer assisted reporting, and design and graphics that may be applied to numerous fields.

A journalist should have a broad background of undergraduate liberal arts courses. At Northeastern, as in most major university journalism programs, the formula for the bachelor's degree in journalism is a combination of 75% arts and sciences courses and 25% professional courses.

Journalism graduates work for newspapers, radio and television stations, wire services, general and specialized magazines, on-line publications, public relations departments, and advertising agencies.

The School of Journalism currently offers a dual major in Journalism/Cinema Studies. For more information, please speak to the Director of Journalism.
