journalism?


Question Posted Friday August 8 2008, 1:26 am

okay i've been looking around NYU's website and although i'm only a junior in high school i'm trying to prepare for college stuff early. i'm thinking i want to go into journalism but i'm getting really confused by looking at their website. if i want to take journalism (as my major) what classes do i take? and if i want to be more focused on something like media criticism (or whatever) would my courses be different? or would i have to get a degree in journalism then go back for a more specific focus? and whats the difference/meaning of a BA and a MA?

if you want to take journalism you should take classes that have to do with writing. for example, creative writing.
for after school activities you could do newspaper, magazine, or yearbook. those all thelp :]

hope i helped !

It's more concentrated in terms of how you'd use your degree rather than what you'd write about.

For example, someone with a Radio/TV (or Communications or Broadcast Journalism) degree would take classes in TV or radio or newspaper or whatever else they wanted to DO with their degree.

Maybe you'd take A class in media criticism, if the school offered one.

A BA is a Bachelor of Arts and a BS is a Bachelor of Science. You get one of these after about 4 years of school. It's a regular college degree. An MA is a Masters of Arts. This requires more than 4 years.
