Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Programs of Study

The Journalism Program at Northwest College offers introductory courses for students who plan to transfer to a four-year institution in pursuit of a bachelor’s degree. Students may choose from print or Web/ broadcast programs. Print-related courses prepare students for careers in newspapers and magazines, including reporting and writing, photojournalism, editing, page layout and design.

This program allows students to explore journalistic print media for their associate of arts degree. The core provides students the basic coursework in the field while allowing them the flexibility to tailor their program to their individual needs. Students must successfully complete core courses with a “C-” or better to meet program requirements. Students planning to transfer to a four-year program may need to have additional hours beyond the program requirements at Northwest College in order to transfer in as a junior. These students should consult with their advisor and the appropriate four-year college catalog.
