Journalism/School of Journalism

Program Overview:

Undergraduate Program

The new Bachelor of Arts in Journalism, News Media, and Communication is a four- year integrated program across all years of a student’s degree. The new program offers students more flexibility in the courses they can take towards their degree.

It includes the study of traditional areas of journalism like broadcasting and print, as well as digital media, new avenues for journalistic output such as podcasting, and a new focus on strategic communications. The redesigned curricula means that the program is up-to-date in terms of the changing landscapes of journalism, digital media and communications practices. The program builds Indigenous Communication Arts and Public Relations courses into the degree, while offering more choice of electives to encourage students to take related courses in other subject areas.

All of the undergraduate students complete a paid 13-week internship as part of the program.

Graduate Program

The professional Master's option in Journalism is a 30 credit program to be completed over three semesters. It is not an academic track degree; rather it is designed to develop students' capacity for advanced journalistic investigation. Candidates will take a suite of core courses in the theory, history and methods of journalism as well as two advanced specialization options (in multimedia, print, magazine, broadcast, documentary, international media, alternative media or photojournalism). An outside elective will draw on the resources of other departments and programs and will be related to students' professional capstone projects. Your professional Master’s project will be completed under the supervision of an assigned faculty member. Students will follow a rigorous and methodical process of research planning and investigation to produce journalism of publication/broadcast quality. Proposals must meaningfully advance the public interest. Students will also participate in a Master's workshop, as they move from the conceptualization and investigation phases to the project production phase.
