Journalism has become increasingly complex in a rapidly changing world and journalists who graduate from the School will have to analyze and explain the events that affect the country and the world. Preparation for such a formidable responsibility requires not just technical and professional skills but also an intellectual curiosity about the world. The Department of Journalism prepares students for careers as writers, reporters, editors and producers for newspapers, magazines, radio and television newsrooms or new multi media outlets. An opportunity is provided to study journalism in its broadest aspects, i.e. its history and literature, its laws, regulations and ethics; its traditional role as a motivator and critic of government in a dynamic, democratic society; and its total effect as a social and economic institution.

In Journalism students are trained to become:
a.	Disciplined and ethical professionals accountable for their performance
b.	Skilled professionals who can use electronic and print media with equal ease
c.	Journalists who work towards enlightenment and moderation within their society
The journalism program allows for specialization in one of four sequences:
I.	The News-Editorial Sequence primarily prepares students for careers in the news/magazine service fields as well as for any other on-line or multimedia career.
II.	The Photo Journalism Sequence links creativity with practical professionalism. Students study the use of photojournalism techniques as apply in newspapers, magazines, and to some extent; corporate and industrial photography. Traditional and electronic darkroom methods are taught using labs. Computer skills are stressed.
III.	The Magazine Sequence trains students in the multi faceted periodical field, combining feature writing, layout and design skills and techniques of editing and publishing.
IV.	The Broadcast Journalism Sequence is designed for students who seek careers in the researching, writing and producing of news for radio, television and documentary programming.
The students are assessed through a series of seminars, assignments and individual research projects.
