Pursue a Career in Journalism and Public Relations
The Journalism Department's award-winning program provides opportunities to master varied skills that lead to entry-level opportunities in journalism and public relations.
Options for Every Goal
No matter your goal, our courses and programs will help you get there. You may choose to follow our pathway for transfer to a four-year program, complete an Associate of Arts degree, or upgrade your skills through one of our Certificates of Achievement. Further, we are committed to assisting students who are seeking career options in media-related interests such as public relations, publishing, and advertising. In support of this work we provide internship and work experience training.
The role of journalists is to challenge people, not to just mindlessly amuse them.

Get Hands-On Experience
During classes, you will get hands-on experience in the writing, publishing, and distribution of both a magazine and a biweekly newspaper. This is done in an environment that closely resembles the environment of a professional newsroom, using digital technology to paginate, edit, and publish the publications. The department also offers digital publishing skills training.
