You can focus on specific types of media, gain dedicated skills, and extend the value of your degree by participating in one of the JMS major’s specializations:
The JMS specializations help you develop expertise in either global media or sports journalism that can set you apart from other job applicants. Each specialization is an 18-credit program that includes theory-based and practice-based courses by leading scholars and industry professionals.
Contact JMS Director of Undergraduate Studies Steven Miller for more information about specializations.
The Global Media specialization offers students the opportunity to study the diverse media landscape around the world. To qualify for the specialization, you must be a declared JMS major and complete all requirements. Courses that count toward the Global Media specialization may also count toward the 33-credit major. Not all courses will be offered every semester.
