Accreditation
|
|
The department is accredited by the national accrediting body of journalism and mass communication, the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications. It is one of 105 schools of journalism so accredited. The department has been accredited countinuously since accrediting began in 1948. The department subscribes to the accrediting body's philosophy of one-quarter of the student's work in journalism and three-quarters of the student's work in liberal arts courses. Journalism students take a minimum of 30 credit hours in journalism, but may take no more than 36 credit hours without extending the 128-hour requirement for graduation. Journalism students must have a "C" or better in Composition I; must have a graduation average of 2.5 in journalism courses; and must have grades of "C" or better in all major courses. |
