The Minor in Journalism

The Journalism Minor at Stony Brook University emphasizes knowledge and exposure to basic skills for students who seek an understanding of broadcast, online, and print media. Courses in the minor provide students with a broad introduction to journalistic principles and practices as well as an understanding of the role of journalism in society. This program will be useful both to students interested in media careers as well as those students interested in sharpening their information-gathering and analytical skills, improving the speed and clarity of their writing, and improving their ability to communicate in whatever career they pursue.
