Mass Communication and Journalism - California State University - Fresno

Mass Communication and Journalism from California State University - Fresno is a Campus Bachelor Media Studies degree that prepares you for a Communications career. Majors must complete 33 semester units of mass communication and journalism courses with a grade of C or better in each course. To ensure that students obtain a broad academic background, no more than 33 units in MCJ courses may apply toward the 120 semester units required for graduation. The university's General Education requirement of 51 units, plus the 33 units in the major, total 84 units. The remaining units needed to reach the 120-unit graduation requirement must be taken outside the MCJ department, and the content of these electives may not be primarily mass communication. Of these outside electives, 15 units must be in "liberal arts and sciences" courses approved by the student's faculty adviser. (Courses in General Education taken beyond the 51-unit G.E. requirement automatically qualify for the department's liberal arts and sciences requirement.) The department's requirements for study outside the major meet national accreditation standards as well as the communications industries' preference for graduates with strong grounding in the liberal arts and sciences. Each MCJ major must select an option, which is an area of specialization within the major. The options are advertising, broadcast journalism, digital media , electronic media production, photojournalism, print journalism, and public relations. The courses required for each option are listed under Major Requirements. View more details on California State University - Fresno, CA .
