The UNH journalism program is respected nationwide for turning out highly trained professional writers and editors. From the first week of your first journalism course, you’ll be out reporting and writing, eventually practicing other skills such as using social media to share stories, shooting video and still photography, editing copy and writing headlines. You’ll have the opportunity to pursue internships with multiple media outlets. Our study-abroad programs let you study at Cambridge University and in London. Additionally, the Donald Murray Visiting Journalist Program brings accomplished journalists to campus for weeklong residencies during which they lecture, conduct classes and work with students and student media.

English/journalism majors must complete ENGL 401 First-Year Writing before taking the first journalism course, ENGL 534 21st Century Journalism: How the News Works. After completing ENGL 534 21st Century Journalism: How the News Works, majors may move on to ENGL 621 Writing and Reporting the News I. Students must get a B or better in 621 to go on to ENGL 622 Writing and Reporting the News II and ENGL 631 Introduction to Digital Reporting-both courses are required for the major.
