Write. Report. Tell Stories.
Journalism starts with a story. It's about finding the facts, shaping them into compelling narratives, and sharing them in ways that matter to people. These storytelling skills are valuable not only in the newsroom but also in workplaces and communities of all kinds.
The Journalism and Technical Communication program takes these skills further by blending them with the clarity and concision of technical and professional communication. You’ll learn to craft messages that resonate with audiences, whether you’re reporting a breaking story, producing a podcast, writing a grant for a nonprofit organization, or creating web content. By combining strong reporting skills with practical communication, you'll graduate ready to make an impact.
