Elective Paths
Students must complete a total of 15 credits through the paths below.
Students will complete a minimum of 6 credits in each of the two clusters below (1: Multimedia Storytelling and 2: Understanding the Media Landscape), and within those two clusters, will take a minimum of 3 credits from each of the two subgroups (1a. Investigating and Interviewing; 1b. Data, Audiences, and Technology; 2a. Media Law, Ethics, and Misinformation; and 2b. Media Practices). The goal is to ensure a broad-based, diverse training for every student, without replicating the courses of study for existing programs. For that reason, no more than 6 of the 15 total elective credits should come from a subject code beginning with ENG (ENGWRT, ENGCMP, ENGLIT, ENGCMP) and no more than 9 credits from COMMRC, except by special permission from a student’s advisor. (Exceptions can also be made for cross-listed courses, per advisor approval.) Courses taken in the Journalism program at Pitt-Johnstown that are not available in Oakland can be transferred on a case-by-case basis in consultation with an English advisor.
