The Journalism major at Buffalo State College allows students to choose between two different sequences: broadcast news (focusing on radio and television), and print/online journalism (focusing on newspapers, magazines, and emerging opportunities in Internet-based reporting). Both sequences emphasize gathering, analyzing and reporting news through a variety of media.
Skills courses like writing, reporting and editing are kept at 16 students, allowing for individual attention and extensive computer work. This major is noted for its development of graduates who have satisfactory careers, competing effectively in the competitive atmosphere of today's communications and media industries.
Journalism is nationally accredited by the Accrediting Council for Education in Journalism and Mass Communications.
