Students interested in a career in the news-editorial or public relations fields, with opportunities in such related areas as magazines, advertising, visual journalism, online journalism, and marketing, should enjoy this innovative, flexible program.
The Journalism major combines Journalism elective courses, the student’s choice of a variety of courses from other university departments, plus internships that provide on-the-job experience.
The IUP Journalism major is flexible for the individual student, who decides, with an advisor, what directions his or her education will take for a mass communications career.
