The journalism major requires 40-41 semester hours in Journalism: 21 hours of core requirements, 12-13 hours in one of three options (print, broadcast, or public relations), 3 hours of journalism electives, and 4 hours of practicum. Students may take a total of eight hours of practicum coursework; however, only four will count toward the major. The 12 hours in any option must include the pertinent writing course.
