Undergraduate Requirements

A minimum of 125 semester hours of credit is required for graduation from the College of Journalism and Mass Communications. Any student transferring into the college must have a 2.75 GPA.

All majors in the college must have at least a 2.75 GPA by the first day of each term to maintain registration in College of Journalism and Mass Communications courses.

All journalism courses are "grade only" unless noted otherwise. No grades below a C count toward the major, a minor or a concentration. Students who enter the college with fewer than two units of a single foreign language from high school are required to take 130 semester hours as a minimum for the bachelor of journalism degree. Thirty of the 125 (or 130) semester hours of credit must be in courses numbered above 299.

Students in the College of Journalism and Mass Communications use the requirements in the Undergraduate Bulletin that is in effect at the time they enter the college. Students must fulfill the requirements stated in that bulletin or in any subsequent bulletin that is published while they are enrolled in the college. No student may use a bulletin dated more than 10 years prior to the date of graduation. A student must meet the requirements from only one bulletin rather than choosing a portion from one bulletin and the remainder from another.
