The Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication offers work for the bachelor of arts in advertising, and the bachelor of science degree in journalism and mass communication.

The unit, founded in 1905, has been continuously accredited every six years since 1948 by the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications and was last reaccredited in 2004. Accreditation is based on the principle that students need a broad-based, liberal arts education, as well as a solid core of courses within the discipline.

Developing skills in 11 key areas, students who complete degrees in advertising or journalism and mass communication will:

To become an advertising or journalism and mass communication major, the student must 1) have either achieved a score of 26 or higher on the ACT English exam, 590 or higher on the SAT verbal exam, or passed the School's English Usage Test as outlined in the Greenlee School's policy for meeting the English Usage Standard; and 2) have completed the pre-major core requirements (See majors). Until these requirements are successfully completed, advertising and journalism and mass communication students are designated as pre-majors. A copy of the EUT policy, including additional details and requirements, is available from the Greenlee School.

Communication Proficiency Requirement

To meet the University's Communication Proficiency requirement, all majors in the School must earn a grade of C or better in English 150 and 250 (or 250H). These additional requirements apply:

Advrt majors must earn a C+ or better in Jl MC 201 and one of Advrt 334 or 336.

Jl MC majors must earn a C+ or better in Jl MC 201 and 202 or 206 or 321.

The Advertising Major

The advertising major prepares students for careers in business and industry or for graduate education. Students majoring in Advrt will find their career opportunities enhanced in professions requiring applied communication expertise. Graduates are qualified for positions in the creative and account sides of advertising within businesses, agencies and media.

To become an advertising major, a student must successfully complete Jl MC 101, 110, and 201 (with a C+ or better) and Advrt 230. Until the EUT standard is met and these courses are successfully completed, advertising students are designated as pre-majors. To receive a bachelor of arts degree in advertising, a student must earn at least 120 credits. A minimum of 80 credits must come from courses other than Advrt or Jl MC and must include Principles of Marketing, Mkt 340. At least 65 of these credits must come from the liberal arts and sciences, and must include Principles of Statistics, Stat 101, or equivalent, and Fundamentals of Public Speaking, Sp Cm 212. Overall, at least 45 credits must be from 300-level courses or above.

Advrt majors need a broad-based academic background that the School seeks to ensure by requiring a Designated Area of Concentration (DAC) made up of 21 credits with at least 12 credits from the 300-level or above. The DAC is a secondary area of expertise made up of courses selected and designed by the student, with adviser approval, to complement the student's professional and academic interests. A second major outside of Advrt or Jl MC may substitute for the DAC.

The Journalism and Mass Communication Major

The major in journalism and mass communication prepares students for careers that involve all aspects of news and information. The emphasis is on generating ideas, organizing, writing, editing and presenting information for various audiences. Graduates most likely will work in magazines, newspapers, electronic media, public relations and public information as well as related disciplines that expect articulate and informed writing and presentation. Students work with advisers to develop programs of study designed to prepare them for work in a variety of communication-specific areas: electronic media, print media (magazine and/or newspaper), print relations/public information, science communication or visual communication.

To be a Jl MC major, a student must successfully complete Jl MC 101, 110 and 201 (with a C+ or better).

Graduate Study

The Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication offers work for a master of science degree in journalism and mass communication. Two tracks are available: one for students who desire specialized study in communication theory and research; the second for students who wish to develop or strengthen professional skills.

Majors plan programs of study in one of two tracks:

I. Communication as theory and research -- The School offers advanced academic preparation in communication theory and research leading to the master of science degree. Graduate work prepares students to use and contribute to research and scholarship in the field of communication. The degree requires a thesis or creative component based on original research, which must be defended successfully before a committee at the end of the program.

Areas of research emphasis include: science and risk communication, media performance, media effects, advertising, public relations, political communication, law and ethics, international communication and visual communication.

II. Professional and Strategic Communication -- The School offers advanced professional training in journalism and mass communication leading to the master of science degree. Graduate work prepares students for professional careers in a variety of mass communication fields. Students with limited training or experience in journalism and mass communication may include skills courses in their programs. The degree requires either a creative component or thesis.

Areas of professional emphasis include: journalistic writing and reporting for the traditional and new media, visual communication and strategic communication.

All students must complete four core courses: Introduction to Graduate Study in Journalism and Mass Communication (Jl MC 592), Theories of Mass Communication (Jl MC 501), Communication Research Methods (Jl MC 502) and Seminars in Mass Communication (Jl MC 598). Each student selects elective courses based on his/her area of emphasis and career goal, in consultation with the student's major professor and Program of Study Committee.

The Greenlee School graduate program offers minor work for students majoring in other departments. The M.S. minor requires Jl MC 501 (Communication Theory), Jl MC 510 (Communication Strategies), and two other courses in journalism and mass communication for a total of 12 credits taken within the Greenlee School.
