Admission and Degree Requirements

Strong writing skills are essential to student success in the division’s journalism curriculum and later in the profession of journalism. Students may enroll in journalism classes as first-year students. Those seeking permission to major or minor in the Division of Journalism must have completed 24 hours of study, which may include transfer hours. Students must also have taken DISC 1312  (or equivalent), JOUR 2103 , and JOUR 2302 , with a minimum combined GPA of 2.500 across these three courses, with no grade lower than C+ in any one of them. Students must declare the major or minor before taking JOUR 2312 . Students transferring from other universities must have completed equivalent courses and obtained the equivalent GPA in those courses before they can be considered a major candidate in the Division of Journalism. The Journalism Division has a focus on and commitment to diversity, recognizing the need for diversity in media and communications in the 21st century.

All fashion media majors must declare and complete a second major or a minor of their choosing. The journalism major and minor do not meet this requirement. Required courses must be passed with a grade of C- or better to count for credit toward the major in fashion media.
