These courses allow students to customize their skill sets and direct their own career paths in modern news media.
In the City of Cincinnati, an active media market, students can explore and report stories from a vibrant urban landscape with diverse audiences and cultures.
Students have multiple experiential learning opportunities year round with professional internships, student media and hands-on Journalism classes.
