Popular concentrations include: International Business, Teaching (elementary or secondary education), Cross-cultural Family Studies, Intercultural Journalism, and Psychology, among others.
Journalism and Integrated Media, B.A. Program Learning Outcomes Upon completion of the Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and Integrated Media, students will be able to: 1. Understand and apply robust knowledge and understanding of the profession (ULO 1). 2. Illustrate an understanding of diversity and cross-cultural perspectives with the profession (ULO 1). 3. Illustrate an understanding of biblical integration with the profession (ULO 2). 4. Demonstrate creative and analytical expertise in writing and presentation (ULO 3). 5. Create and develop projects that exhibit convergence & integration of media (ULO 3). Degree Program Upon completion of the University baccalaureate and major requirements in the Department of Journalism and Integrated Media, students earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism and Integrated Media. The Journalism and Integrated Media major requires the completion of a minimum of 44 credits (50 credits for the Cross-Cultural Media Concentration) beyond the general education requirements, 24 of which must be upper-division. Senior Portfolio Review All students in the Department of Journalism and Integrated Media are expected to undergo a portfolio review and defense by a Department Portfolio Review Committee before graduating. The portfolio consists of the student’s best work, completed during either coursework or internships during the time they have been enrolled in the major. The student’s portfolio will be rated for competency or non- competency. Competent work can also be rated as exemplary. Students whose portfolio does not earn at least a competency rating must re-submit their portfolio to the Review Committee until it meet competency. Timing of the review is the semester before graduating (typically Fall semester of the senior year in a normal four-year undergraduate cycle). For December graduates, the review would take place during Spring semester. In cases of unavoidable emergency, the Spring review and defense can take place during one of the two academic Summer sessions. In some cases, resubmitted Fall semester portfolios will be reviewed during Interterm or Spring semester to allow time for revision of work. Traditional students should schedule a preliminary portfolio review with their academic advisor at the end of five semesters to plan successful completion of the Senior Portfolio. Transfer students should schedule a preliminary portfolio review after two semesters. Scheduling of the Senior Portfolio review and defense is the responsibility of the student, and must be done with the departmental secretary after collaboration with the student’s academic advisor but will be typically completed as an outgrowth of the Senior Portfolio course. Portfolio review and defense will be scheduled once each semester.
