Through journalism, a liberal arts education intersects with the world. Journalists have a need to discover and understand what is happening, whether it be a crime, a financial crisis, a clothing trend, or a rock concert. They deliver this information as an engaging story to an audience for whom it matters.

Journalism is for people who:

• Are curious and inspired
• Care about accuracy
• Think well on their feet and handle deadlines
• Think critically
• Enjoy building networks and talking to people
• Care about the quality of language
• Have an aesthetic eye
• Like being in the know about current events
