Course Sequence

The journalism faculty offers the following operational policy for its course sequence and prerequisites. The basic idea is for students to take Level I courses prior to Level II courses, etc. We ask that special attention be given to course prerequisites to avoid scheduling students without proper experience into courses. We do retain flexibility of waiving sequence and prerequisites in individual cases.
