Due to accreditation rules, the School of Journalism limits the number of mass communication credit hours that can count in the B.A.J. degree.  It also limits the number of credit hours that do not come from the College of Arts and Sciences and that are not mass communications courses (outside hours).

• No more than 43 credit hours of mass communication may count in the degree.  Note: 39 hours of JOUR are required for the Journalism major.  See “Mass Communication Courses” list.
• No more than 25 credit hours in courses outside mass communication and the College of Arts & Sciences may count in the degree.  See “Outside Hours” list.
