A Journalism major covers reporting and interviewing, news and feature writing, editing, media law and ethics, and multimedia production across print, broadcast, and digital formats. Programs typically combine a writing-intensive core with skills work in audio, video, photojournalism, and data journalism, and most include a portfolio-building capstone plus an internship at a newsroom, magazine, broadcaster, or digital outlet.

Most graduates earn a bachelor's degree, the typical entry-level credential for the field. They go on to report and produce news, edit copy, manage social and digital content, and handle communications and public relations across media organizations, nonprofits, government, and corporate teams. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects employment of news analysts, reporters, and journalists to decline about 3.9 percent from 2024 to 2034, so many students broaden their training toward digital, video, and communications work.

The major pairs naturally with Communications, Political Science, or English, and the research, writing, and deadline skills it builds transfer to marketing, content, and advocacy roles beyond the newsroom.
