Journalism (Minor)
The Department of English offers a minor in Journalism to NC State students, except English majors in the Rhetoric and Professional Writing Concentration (16ENGLLWR). The minor will provide coursework in writing and editing news and features for print and non-print media, as well as an introduction to the profession of journalism.
Admissions and Certification of Minor
Students can apply for admission to any university minor program in MyPack Portal. Admission will be based on聽the student鈥檚 academic record, and in most cases no longer requires departmental review. The minor must be completed no later than the semester in which the student expects to graduate from their degree program. Students can monitor their progress toward completing the minor by viewing their Minor Degree Audit online, anytime, in MyPack Portal.聽
Questions regarding unmet course requirements on your Minor Degree Audit (indicated by a red 鈥榅鈥�) should be directed to the Minor Coordinator.
