Here's the awesome thing about a journalism degree from UNL: it gives
you a broad education AND prepares you for a job. Sure, it teaches you
about journalism, but, more importantly, it teaches you how to DO
journalism and strategic communication. You'll learn to improve your
writing, editing, oral presentation and design in print, broadcast and
interactive media. Just pick a sequence: advertising, broadcasting or
news-editorial - or combine two of them to give yourself even more
options.
Advertising
The advertising sequence prepares students for careers in marketing and
advertising, media sales, brand management, research, public relations
and much more.
Journalism
The broadcasting major offers courses leading to a variety of
careers in the telecommunications industry with a solid base of
instruction in radio and television broadcasting.
The news-editorial major offers courses in print journalism, the
discipline on which the college was established. News-ed
students have taken jobs at newspapers, magazines, and other print
media, including online publications.
Master of Arts in Journalism
The M.A. degree in Journalism is designed to build or enhance
professional knowledge, skills and leadership in journalism and mass
communications. The interdisciplinary curriculum combines up-to-date
knowledge with practical application and individualized experience. The
M.A. in Journalism has three areas of focus: advertising, broadcasting and news-editorial.
