Return to: Academic Programs
This pathway is designed to provide the first two years of study for students who intend to continue their education in the diverse and rapidly changing news media field. Students who are interested in related fields, such as marketing, public relations, broadcast media and graphic arts, can add electives in those areas, preparing them for transfer to universities that offer journalism degrees with minors in their specialization, or vice versa. Courses involve extensive hands-on experience with student media outlets, including The Agora, www.mcccagora.com, Rewind 94.3 radio and Monroe Public Access Cable TV (MPACT). Career opportunities include: online and other new media, newspapers and magazines, TV and radio news and production, and public relations and marketing.
