General Requirements

Requirements include successful completion of five courses focusing on journalism and a professional news internship during either the academic year or a summer.

Students who want to participate in the Gallivan Program are expected to take “Fundamentals of Journalism,” which is offered each Fall Semester, as their first class. Other courses that count for the minor are announced each semester by the Gallivan Program. No more than two courses beyond “Fundamentals of Journalism” that concentrate on journalistic techniques will count for the required 15 hours. The five courses for the minor in journalism must be taken separately from and in addition to a student's major courses.

"Fundamentals of Journalism" is the entry-level or gateway course for the Gallivan Program. It is offered each Fall semester. Students apply for it during the previous Spring semester, and a faculty committee evaluates each application. Traditionally, there are some 50 applicants for the 18 places in this class. 

Please Note: Students cannot enroll in classes for the minor or pursue an internship in journalism until successful completion of "Fundamentals of Journalism."
