Overview

Journalists provide news, information, and commentary that help citizens make decisions affecting their lives and participation in a democratic society. Because of this responsibility, the press is the only institution mentioned by name -- and protected -- in the Constitution. Students can learn to appreciate this responsibility by specializing in newspaper, magazine and web-based media, plus take courses in related sequences like photography and visual communication. Middle Tennessee State University's accredited program emphasizes writing/reporting skills, theory, history, law, ethics, design, management, research, new media and freedom of expression. Faculty have a wide range of academic and professional backgrounds, and the School of Journalism and Strategic Media offers on-campus practicum and off-campus internship opportunities, including the Seigenthaler News Service-Middle Tennessee State University in Nashville. The School has close ties to the independent student newspaper, Sidelines, and other outlets housed in the Center for Innovation in Media.

Optional Practical Training (OPT)
Verify before applying

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
