Baylor JPR&NM Concentrations October 4, 2021

Posted by Mia Moody-Ramirez in : Uncategorized , add a comment

A concentration in News-Editorial, Public Relations, Advertising, Photography or our emerging sequence in Broadcasting equips students with the knowledge and skills needed to explore a broad-based liberal arts degree, while also earning a skills and theory-based degree backed up with practical experience. All majors in our department must complete a minor offered in another department of the College of Arts & Sciences or a concentration from a school outside of Arts & Sciences.

In addition, our department offers three choices for outside majors wishing to obtain a minor in  JPR&NM: public relations, photojournalism, advertising or the news-editorial minor. Each consists of 18 semester hours. Equally, a secondary major from our department allows students to earn one bachelor’s degree together with a secondary major associated with a different degree program without fulfilling all the core requirements associated with that second degree.

Number of hours/units required for graduation:

The Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism (JPR&NM) requires a minimum of 124 credit hours

Number of hours/units required for a major/degree: 33 semester hours
