Pre-Journalism - Bachelor of Arts - Journalism

A degree in journalism prepares students for a wide variety of careers in news, broadcasting and documentary, public relations and advertising, film and media production, Spanish-language media, media studies and visual communication. Students will gain real-world experience in the University of Nevada's in-house start-ups and in internships and practicums at local, regional and national businesses. 

Becoming a journalism major means joining the Reynolds School of Journalism family. The school has an inclusive community of faculty, staff and students committed to facing the challenges of truth-seeking, advancing the media professions and serving the public good in a complex world.

All students who are entering into Business, Graphic Design, Engineering, and Journalism are required to begin their studies at the University of Nevada, Reno as a pre-major. Updates and progression to the upper level division and major declaration will happen during program study.
