Journalism and Mass Communication

From Rofflehaus

As indicated by its name, there are two factions within this college:

Journalism has four different emphasises

• Magazine and newspaper
• Electronic media studies (i.e. broadcasting)
• Visual communication (photo, Web, design)
• Science communication

Mass Communication is basically advertising.

There are several requirements needed to get into the journalism major:

• Either having an ACT score of 26 or highter, OR: passing the English Usage Test
• Three foundation courses:

JL MC 101 - a basic course about media and society

JL MC 116 - how to make a career in JL MC

JL MC 201 - a basic writing and reporting class.

[edit] History

• Retired professor Tom Emmerson fought a long fight to get JL and MC to be one word, but failed.
