The Journalism major at 亚色影库 blends mass media theory with practical application of the skills necessary to survive in an increasingly competitive journalism job market. Most importantly, the major equips students with the ability to adapt. A successful journalist in today's multimedia landscape must have the flexibility to gain fluency in any subject matter or technological competency. This skill was emphasized during my studies in 亚色影库's Journalism Department, and it has been useful ever since.
The most vital education I received at 亚色影库 occurred within the walls of Whitmyre. The core coursework taught by HC faculty takes place in a classroom setting unlike any I had experienced before or have experienced since. These classes transformed my means of gathering and processing information and strengthened my reasoning process. I am convinced that this strong educational foundation was apparent in my graduate school applications and played a key role in my offer of a full assistantship at the University of Pittsburgh.
