Follow in some big footsteps

Students from Marquette's journalism program have gone on to become a New York Times columnist, a senior writer and weekly columnist for Sports Illustrated, and Pulitzer Prize-winning writers for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Seattle Times and The Washington Post.

Be a working journalist

Through national and local internships, Marquette's journalism majors work with Newsday in New York; The Associated Press in Washington, D.C.; The Chicago Tribune; the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel; and Milwaukee's Catholic Herald. Marquette students also intern in Milwaukee radio and television station newsrooms.

Learn digital storytelling

Students learn the art of journalism using a range of digital media. Sharpen your skills by choosing to specialize in newspapers, magazine publications or visual communication, including photojournalism and video journalism.

The ethics of news reporting

Our University Core of Common Studies will help you make sense of a broad range of news stories and prepare you to wrestle with the ethical dimensions of what to report and how to report it.

Get in on the action

Work and get paid for it at The Marquette Tribune, our award-winning, twice-weekly student-run newspaper. Even as a freshman journalism major, you'll work on important stories, interview city administrators, review movies and shows, write editorials, and cover Marquette and professional athletics.
