  • From Sequence (quarters) to Track (semesters)

When Ohio University switches to semesters in 2012, students who would have selected the magazine journalism sequence in the quarter system will be in the News and Information track. Students in this track can select courses that focus specifically on magazine journalism, but they also have the option of choosing a wider array of courses (e.g., online journalism, broadcast news, etc.) to more broadly prepare for the changing industry.

Students can develop their professional skills by working on campus publications such as Backdrop, Thread, College Green, the InterActivist, Southeast Ohio magazine, the Ohio Journalist, and speakeasymag.com, and through internships.

Other opportunities to get involved include student organizations such as the Society of Professional Journalists. Read more about the new semester-based curriculum.
