journalism

[itla_uno]

<p>okay, so i've been accepted into the college of letters, arts, sciences with a major that i'm not so sure i want to stick with. i went to orientation and put together a schedule which has no classes relevant to my major (because it was impossible to fit them in with the TO classes i have to take). </p>

<p>i've been thinking a lot about a major instead in broadcast journalism. it looks like i can't really apply for the major until next year (or maybe second semester of this year?), but i was wondering what classes are recommended for freshmen in the journalism major...? if they don't require d-clearance, i may as well just take them and not fall behind for once i transfer (hopefully). </p>

<p>any help would be great, thanks.</p>

<p>journalism majors are required to take:
all 6 gen ed categories and writing 140 (obviously)
up to/including the 3rd level of a language
journalism 201-history of the news in modern America--you might be able to get d-clearance for this one, so if you think you have a shot, take it second semester (that's when the majority of comm, journalism, etc majors take it) </p>

<p>once sophomore year starts, journalism majors will start core curriculum, and you will need to be accepted to the annenberg school to continue. i suggest talking with Annie Mateen, the broadcast journalism academic advisor if you want advice/suggestions about being accepted to the major.</p>
