These courses will still apply to your bachelor’s degree if for any reason you do not wish to continue at the master’s level after four years.In the dual B.S./M.A. program in Journalism and Government and Politics, you’ll learn to gather and communicate information about all kinds of news, and will be especially well-versed in the role of government and the political process in today’s society.

The knowledge and skills you’ll gain through the program will allow you to pursue careers related to government, media, foreign policy think tanks, non-profit and non-governmental organizations, international news agencies, and more.
