School of Journalism

Peggy Kuhr, Dean

Dennis Swihold, Chair, Department of Print Journalism

Denise Dowling, Chair, Department of Radio-Television

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, websites, print and online news services and related agencies. The School of Journalism offers Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees in journalism and radio-television. Students select courses in print, photojournalism, online news, broadcast news and 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 College of Arts and Sciences or be General Education courses in the professional schools or colleges.

For further information about the Master's degree program in Environmental and Natural Resource Journalism, contact the Director of Graduate Studies in Journalism, Henriette Löwisch, School of Journalism, The University of Montana, Missoula, MT 59812, or (406) 243-2227.

Pre-Professional Program

In the first two years of study students are enrolled in pre-journalism 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 either autumn or spring semester. 

Professional Program

Students may apply for admission to the two-year professional programs in journalism and R-TV once they have successfully completed the pre-professional curriculum.  Applications are accepted in autumn and spring. Deadlines for applications are October 1 and March 1.

Students may apply for admission to the professional program in either semester, but must have completed at least 45 credits before applying.  In addition, applicants must have either completed all courses listed in the pre-professional curriculum or in the semester of application be taking the courses needed to complete the requirements.

An overall grade point average of 2.5, and a GPA of at least 2.5 in the journalism and R-TV core courses, is required of applicants.

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 grade point averages, both overall and in the pre-professional program, progress in completing the pre-professional curriculum, and an evaluation of work submitted. 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. Students with deficiencies in these requirements may on occasion be admitted provisionally. Once deficiencies are removed the student will be given full admission status. 

Applications for admission to the professional programs may be obtained from the Office of the Dean, School of Journalism, or online at the School's website.  A $15 nonrefundable application fee and transcripts of all academic work must accompany the application.  Admission for one academic year cannot be deferred to another academic year without the written consent of the academic chair of the student's department.

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 and a pre-journalism or pre-R-TV course average of 2.5.  Any student who has been admitted and whose grade average subsequently falls below a 2.5 must meet with his or her advisor to discuss the student's progress before classes resume the following semester.  A student in the professional program who has a cumulative or professional grade point average less than 2.0 will be suspended from the program.

A student 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 dismissal from the program.

A student leaving the journalism or R-TV professional programs for any reason, whether in good standing or on academic suspension, must reapply for admission.
