Turn Your Passion for Stories into Journalism Skills
Housed in the Humanities Division, the Journalism program at Pitt-Johnstown will prepare you with real-world skills for highly in-demand positions in diverse journalistic fields, no matter the industry upon which you wish to focus.
Today's journalists do more than report the news. They research complex issues, tell compelling stories across multiple media platforms, and communicate information that informs, educates, and engages audiences. Pitt-Johnstown's Journalism program prepares students with the reporting, writing, editing, interviewing, and multimedia storytelling skills needed to succeed in today's evolving media landscape.
Through hands-on coursework and experiential learning opportunities, students gain practical experience in news writing, digital media, broadcast journalism, feature writing, photography, and media production while building a professional portfolio. Small class sizes and close faculty mentorship allow students to develop their skills in a collaborative learning environment and prepare for internships and career opportunities.
Graduates are prepared for careers in news reporting, broadcast media, digital journalism, public relations, corporate communications, sports media, technical writing, publishing, and other communication-focused professions.
