Journalism
Students may elect a minor in journalism to supplement their major concentration in any college department. Journalism at Beloit is a liberal arts, interdisciplinary program that also includes the possibility of practical journalistic experience.
The aims of the program are to make students proficient in major kinds of journalistic composition (such as news stories, magazine features, editorials, and columns); and to help students practice journalism in broader contexts (such as societal, intellectual, ethical, and experiential contexts).
Minors
- Journalism 125.
- Journalism 225 or 264.
- Journalism 155 or 264 or 1 approved course in another applied method of communication such as photography, Web design, or digital media, public speaking, or television or radio broadcasting.
- One internship chosen in consultation with a journalism advisor, or one semester of experience in an editorial position of the Round Table, or Journalism 228.
- One supporting course relevant to the prospective career interest of the student or English 226. (A course used to fulfill an all-college distribution requirement may not be used as the supporting course for the journalism minor.)
- Normally courses taken to satisfy a major may not be counted toward the journalism minor, and no more than 2 other courses from the English department may be counted toward the journalism minor.
