Every student with a major in journalism must complete a second major or a concentration area outside the School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Study in the second major or concentration area enables students to acquire a substantial body of knowledge or expertise in a relevant area, learn how another discipline views the world, and/or develop a companion set of skills to those in journalism and mass communication.
Students who satisfy the requirement by completing a concentration area must choose 24 s.h. of related course work in one or more departments; at least 15 of the 24 s.h. must be earned in advanced courses (in most departments, advanced courses are numbered 100 or above). B.A. students who complete a minor in business administration are credited with completing the concentration area requirement. Course work in the concentration area must be arranged in consultation with the student’s advisor; each student must have the advisor’s written endorsement of the second major or concentration area before graduation.
