With numerous entrance and diversity awards, there's never been a better time to study journalism at the University of King's College.

Why Journalism? Why Now?

The world needs trustworthy observers to find and tell the stories that matter. Learn to be the clear voice in the crowd. Learn to use text, pictures, sound and a range of technologies to cut through the noise of the information age. 

The University of King’s College produces journalists with the skills and integrity to ask tough questions, tackle tough topics and still have fun. The one-year Bachelor of Journalism program builds on our students’ education and experience. In addition to becoming practicing journalists, King’s journalism graduates have gone on to careers in law, public relations, politics, the arts, international development, business and many other fields.

Students Are Journalists from Day One

All students are reporters. They work with industry-standard technology under the guidance of experienced faculty to produce newspapers, magazines, radio shows, television shows and online news reports. These publications and broadcasts are geared to the broader public, not just the university community. That gives King’s students real-world experience as journalists accountable to an audience with high expectations of professionalism.

The Bachelor of Journalism program moves quickly; over eight months, student journalists  master one set of skills and then move to the next. Our objective is for the program's graduates to leave with a solid foundation: knowledge and skills that will continue to grow through challenging careers in a fast-changing world.

About the Program

The program begins with basic training in research, reporting and writing and instruction in the history and ethics of journalism. Students then take two core workshops among the five basic workshops offered: radio, television, newspaper, narrative non-fiction and online journalism. An advanced workshop is then selected from the following: magazine, television documentary, radio documentary, advanced online and investigative reporting. In the spring, students undertake month-long unpaid internships at approved news media outlets. Check out some of our student work here.

In order to qualify for graduation, all students in the Bachelor of Journalism program will be required to complete a total of seven full credits in journalism classes, plus the non-credit internship.
