Program Summary

The Journalism and Media minor is administered by the DeWitt Wallace Center for Media & Democracy in the Sanford School of Public Policy. The minor is a way for students interested in the intersection of media, journalism, and democracy to advance their understanding of the increasingly complex and ever-evolving media and information environment and ways in which this environment is affecting politics, culture, and public policy. The minor provides professional and analytical skills for students interested in journalism-related career paths, as well as for students interested in career paths related to media, technology, public affairs, and public policy. The minor can be completed independent of or alongside a major in Public Policy. Journalism and Media Studies minors come from across departments in both the sciences and humanities.

There is no major available for the program.
