Journalism
Minor in Journalism
With a Journalism minor you will develop writing, reporting, and design skills that will benefit a variety of career choices. Students majoring in Communication, Business, English, and Government often choose a journalism minor to complement their field of study.
The Journalism program includes training in communication, writing, desktop publishing, layout, photography, video, and Web design. Journalism students learn how to report for various media – not just print. While at Evangel, the journalism student works in newspaper production through our student-produced newspaper, magazine-style production through the yearbook, broadcast news on cable, radio news over the campus station, and Web reporting through the student website.
