The Bachelor of Arts degree in Mass Communications offers options in Broadcast Journalism and Print Journalism. The Broadcast Journalism option is for those majors pursuing careers in radio, television and public relations.

The Print Journalism option is designed to prepare students to become successful writers, reporters and editors for the print and broadcast media. Required course content focuses on developing writing skills, editing skills, and critical skills while encouraging students to understand the role of the journalist from a culturally and historically informed perspective. The degree program encourages students to develop competencies in a foreign language and to have a strong background in the sciences and liberal arts.
