BA Journalism

4 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

New York University

Program Overview

The emphasize is on the practical (basic and advanced skills training) and the theoretical. Students take lecture and seminar classes that emphasize professional ethics, the cultural politics of the media, the social role of the journalist, and the importance of craft (expository, explanatory, and literary technique). Our strong liberal arts emphasis includes the requirement that every journalism student fulfill a double major with another discipline within the College of Arts and Science, or students from other NYU schools may elect journalism as a second major. Students can expect an immersion experience in New York City, and can avail themselves of numerous pre-professional and professional publishing opportunities, including the numerous webzines produced within the Institute.
