Journalism
In 1908, Walter Williams founded a school—the world’s first to offer a journalism degree, the Missouri School of Journalism. Our school is where storytellers of all kinds can find their voices by using them first. This hands-on philosophy of learning-by-doing is what we call the Missouri Method.
Missouri journalism students dive into their careers early, gaining hands-on, career ready experience staffing six professional newsrooms and two advertising agencies while still in school. The professional journalists who manage these outlets will double as your professors. Learn more about our real-world, hands-on newsrooms and agencies encompassing Strategic Communication, Advertising, Public Relations, Broadcast, Print and Digital News, Photojournalism, Magazine, Convergence, and Sports Journalism with a custom degree plan just for you, the storyteller.
