Overview
Campus Life at Indianapolis
The journalism curriculum helps students prepare to be effective communicators regardless of their chosen profession. Careers in newspapers, magazines, broadcast and electronic journalism, sports journalism, public relations, and advertising are as vital as ever. The Bachelor of Arts in Journalism degree also prepares students for related careers and for graduate studies. For example, strong communication skills are essential for careers in law, business, and public affairs.
The urban setting of the Indianapolis campus enables students and faculty to work closely with public and private agencies, government, business and industry. Its urban orientation enables the university to be directly involved in metropolitan concerns and aspirations. The State Capitol is only a short walk from the school's offices. Internships available from Indianapolis media organizations allow students to enhance their classroom skills with work experiences in a major media market. Classroom experiences are also enriched by part-time instructors who are media professionals.
The curriculum integrates words and pictures in storytelling for both traditional and new media.
