Undergraduate Overview
The School of Mass Communication and Journalism at The University
of Southern Mississippi offers degrees in Advertising, Broadcast Journalism, Broadcast Production, Film, News Editorial, Photojournalism, and Public Relations.
All degrees require a minimum grade of C in each major course
and a GPA of 2.50 in the major for graduation. MCJ students, except film majors, must complete a three course core curriculum of MCJ 101, 102, 103 and 455 and also pass the school's Grammar, Spelling, and Punctuation Exam. In addition, all
students must select an academic minor within a program outside
the School of Mass Communication and Journalism.
The School of Mass Communication and Journalism also offers three
minor programs for students majoring in other academic disciplines.
We offer minors in Advertising; Journalism; and Radio, Television,
and Film.
For more detailed information on academic programs and requirements,
please refer to the pages devoted to School of Mass Communication
and Journalism found within the College of Arts & Letters section
of the USM Undergraduate Bulletin.
Internships
All programs offer internships for 3 hours of upper level academic credit. An internship
is a supervised experiential learning experience that takes place
in a professional setting. Internships afford the opportunity to
see how the lessons learned in coursework are applied in the professional
world, and to learn from working professionals. Specific prerequisites must be met
before enrolling for internship credit, and students should consult
with their advisors if they wish to pursue this valuable option.
