Introduction
Journalism concentrations prepare students to work in the fields of reporting, editing, design and photography on newspapers; reporting and editing news for radio and television stations; staff and freelance writing for magazines; advertising in agencies, profit and nonprofit organizations, and media; public relations in agencies, and profit and nonprofit organizations; teaching in secondary schools; and desktop publishing.
Programs also are designed to educate students broadly; to develop their abilities to analyze, evaluate and inform; and to consider the ethical implications of mass communication and its impact in today’s world.
Some journalism concentrations require completion of course work as beat reporters on The North Texas Daily, the campus newspaper. Students in the broadcast news concentration take one course in broadcast news writing and have the opportunity to work at KNTU, the campus radio station, and in the campus television studio and web casts on the NT Daily web site. Students in the advertising concentration must complete one course of reporting and one of advanced advertising copywriting.
Internships provide additional experience in mass media, advertising and public relations agencies, and corporate offices and media sales in the Dallas-Fort Worth region and elsewhere in the state and nation.
Programs of Study
The department offers undergraduate and graduate programs in the following areas:
- Bachelor of Arts, and
- Master of Arts, both with a major in journalism;
- Master of Journalism.
Concentrations at the undergraduate level are available in advertising, broadcast news, news writing-editorial, photojournalism and public relations.
Teacher certification also is available in journalism.
Admission to Journalism Major
All students entering UNT and wishing to pursue the bachelor of arts degree with a major in journalism enter as pre-majors. Before applying for journalism major status, pre-majors must complete at least 45 hours of college course work including the following:
1. JOUR 1210, 2310 and two other courses, based on concentration requirements, with a 2.5 GPA or better;
2. the journalism math requirement for all concentrations, MATH 1680; and
3. the university English composition requirement with a grade of C or better.
Pre-majors who have completed the above requirements and who have a UNT GPA of at least 2.5 may file a formal application for major status. Approved majors may enroll in those advanced courses designated “journalism majors/minors only.”
Admission for Transfer Students
Students transferring to UNT from other colleges and universities may fulfill many of these requirements through transfer course work. Transfer students need to apply for journalism major status upon admission and must pass the grammar/spelling/punctuation test, administered by the UNT Writing Center, during their first term/semester at UNT.
Admission for Post-baccalaureate Students
Students who have already completed a baccalaureate degree from an accredited university may be admitted to the journalism major prior to completion of the pre-major requirements provided their overall GPA in all college work attempted is at least 2.5. Post-baccalaureate majors must still abide by all course prerequisites and sequence restrictions.
