Courses in the School of Journalism examine the news media emphasizing
their history, privileges and responsibilities and provide instruction
in skills required for careers with newspapers, radio and television
stations, magazines, web sites, print and online news services
and related agencies. The School of Journalism offers Bachelor
of Arts and Master of Arts degrees in print journalism and radio-television.
Students select options in print, photojournalism, or broadcast
or may major in radio-television if they wish to study broadcast
production.
A quality education in journalism is built on a strong liberal
arts foundation. Therefore, at the undergraduate level, at least
80 of the 120 credits required for graduation must be outside
the School of Journalism and 65 of those credits must be in the
liberal arts and sciences or be General Education courses.
For further information about the master’s degree program,
contact Professor Clemens Work, Director of Graduate Studies,
School of Journalism, The University of Montana, Missoula, MT
59812, or (406)243-2160, or work@selway.umt.edu.
Pre-Professional Program
In the first two years of study students are enrolled in pre-journalism
with one of the three options or pre-radio-television and take
courses primarily in the liberal arts and sciences. Journalism
and radio-television courses in the pre-professional curriculum
may be taken at The University of Montana-Missoula or at another
school with a program accredited by the Accrediting Council for
Education in Journalism and Mass Communications. All non-journalism
courses in the curriculum may be completed at any college or university.
Students in the first two years of study may enter the pre-professional
program during any semester. However, requirements in the pre-professional
curriculum should be completed by the end of the second year of
study to enable students to apply for admission to the professional
program during the spring of the sophomore year.
Students should have completed at least 45 credits before applying
for the professional program. At the time of application, students
should have either completed all courses listed in the pre-professional
curriculum or be taking the courses needed to fulfill requirements.
A grade point average of 2.5 or better is required of applicants.
Professional Program
Students apply for admission to the two-year professional programs
in one of the three options in journalism or the radio-television
major. Applications are accepted only in spring and granted only
for autumn semester. Deadline for applications is March 1. The
admissions process is designed to admit the best overall class
into the professional program.
Completed applications are evaluated by the School of Journalism
Admissions Committee and acceptances are made by the faculty and
dean based on the committee’s recommendations. The primary
admissions criteria are the students' grade point averages, both
overall and in the pre professional program, and an evaluation
of work submitted by the student. Successful applicants will have
demonstrated, among other qualities, promise and professional
aptitude through the quality of their course work and their overall
performance in the pre professional program, and will have demonstrated
an interest in pursuing a career in journalism or broadcast production.
Students with deficiencies in these requirements may on occasion
be admitted provisionally. Once deficiencies are removed from
the students’ record they will be given full admission status.
The curriculum of the journalism professional programs is sequential.
Therefore, students will enter the professional programs in the
autumn semester only. Applications for admission to the professional
programs may be obtained from the Office of the Dean, School of
Journalism. Applications must be received no later than March
1 preceding the autumn semester for which admission is requested.
A $15 non-refundable application fee must accompany the application.
Transcripts of all academic courses taken must be forwarded directly
to the School of Journalism. Admission for one academic year cannot
be deferred to another academic year.
Students transferring from other ACEJMC-accredited programs in
journalism or radio television may be admitted, on a space available
basis. Transfer credit for pre-professional and professional courses
taken at other institutions is accepted only for those courses
that are deemed equivalent and in which a letter grade of C or
better is obtained.
Academic Progression
The general University academic standing requirements are listed
separately in this catalog. See index.
Students enrolled in the professional journalism program must
maintain satisfactory academic progress. Admission to the professional
program requires a cumulative grade average of 2.5. Students who
have been admitted and whose grade average subsequently falls
below a 2.5 must meet with their advisors to discuss their progress
before classes resume the following semester. Students in the
professional programs who have a cumulative or professional grade
point average less than 2.0 will be placed on academic probation.
Students on academic probation must achieve at least a 2.0 grade
average for the semester and raise their overall grade average
or face suspension from the University. Because the professional
programs are intensive, employment beyond minimal part time is
not recommended.
Students dismissed from the program for substandard performance
will not be readmitted, except in cases where substantiation is
made to the faculty, by written petition, that the substandard
performance was the result of circumstances that no longer exist,
or that the student has demonstrated the capability and desire
to perform satisfactory work since his or her dismissal from the
program.
Students leaving the program for any reason, whether in good
standing or on academic suspension, must reapply for admission.
Special Degree Requirements
Refer to graduation requirements listed previously in the catalog.
See index.
