Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Journalism and Electronic Media] From University of Scranton

The Journalism & Electronic Media major is designed for students interested in the fields of journalism and/or television, video and online media.

The Journalism track offers courses that deal with evaluating news, reporting and writing stories, newsroom organization, interviewing, feature writing, improving and trimming stories, headline writing, layout, graphics, social media, search engine optimization and related informative communication. The Broadcasting & Electronic Media track educates students in the theoretical background and practical application of television production in and outside the studio, enabling them to pursue specialized projects in producing and directing programs in a variety of audio, video and multimedia formats.

Students may take only one track within the major. Students are further restricted to only one major within the Department of Communication, though they are invited and encouraged to select a second major from outside the department.
