The Journalism BA at the University of Idaho helps you gather and share newsworthy information across print, broadcast, and digital media. You develop research and writing skills, news judgment, and the global awareness needed for a career in journalism. You also gain practical media experience through contributions to the student newspaper, student magazine, and the university radio station.
Learning includes faculty mentorship from professionals and internship opportunities both on and off campus. You work in a simulated newsroom setting to build expertise for reporting and communication across multiple platforms. The program fits students who like writing, have strong communication skills, and value truth, fairness, and accurate information.
