A journalism minor provides underpinning for those interested in various media.

This minor is especially appropriate for media and public communication or English communication media majors. Those with a desire to write or report in some content area should consider a major in the area itself. Reporters need a content area such as political science or history; basic science students will discover that science writing is an especially valuable and challenging career goal.
