In upper-level classes, students further develop skills in areas more focused on strategic communications, such as message development, research methods in strategic communications and strategic campaigns. The idea is to help students understand the fundamental skills of journalism, while specializing in more strategic communication based courses.
A journalism degree in strategic communication opens the doors to any number of different careers. The following list is just small sample of the jobs recent School of Journalism graduates have landed:
- Account manager
- Marketing coordinator
