Based on severe state higher education budget cuts, the Department of Journalism has been eliminated as a separate department and academic major and minor. Courses related to journalism have been moved to the Department of Language and Communication. Prospective students interested in mass communications may pursue a bachelor’s degree in communication or liberal arts.

Current journalism majors or minors have until 2012 to complete their eliminated degrees. HOWEVER, All MAJOR requirements need to be completed by SUMMER 2011.

Juniors and seniors should contact Dr. Paula Furr at furrp@nsula.edu<mailto:furrp@nsula.edu>. Online and CALL students should contact Mr. Carl Henry at henryc@nsula.edu.
