The journalism program is designed to prepare students for transfer as majors in various areas of communication. Pierce’s basic courses in journalistic writing and mass media provide a good background for those pursuing communication careers in print journalism, broadcast journalism, advertising and public relations. The student newspaper gives interested students the opportunity to gain practical experience in nearly all phases of producing a newspaper, using desktop publishing techniques that include computer formatting and digital imaging.

Students planning to transfer as communication or journalism majors should complete AA-DTA degree requirements and must check with transfer institutions regarding specific requirements and transferable credits. Students are strongly urged to work closely with faculty advisors to plan an overall program of study that best meets their transfer needs and career goals.
