Academics:

Effective fall 2009, the Department of Journalism at Northwestern State University will offer programs in media studies and entertainment technology along with an online program. Each program leads to a Bachelor of Arts with a Journalism major.

Along with a university core and liberal arts requirement, each student must complete a set of Journalism core courses and electives, which will prepare them for the many career opportunities in journalism and mass media.

Students are encouraged to complete an internship, considered vital in bridging academic studies and professional work. Northwestern students have completed internships at prominent national and regional organizations, with many internships leading to employment. Although students are responsible for securing their internship positions, the faculty will guide and assist them.

Please, contact the department for more information on specific courses or call us at (800) 256.8025 or via e-mail.
