Program overview:
The Journalism in Sports, Culture and Social Justice major provides a broad foundation in multimedia journalism. As its founders Spike Lee and Ralph Wiley desired, it is one of the nation’s few journalism programs that emphasize the pursuit of careers in sports journalism or sports administration on the pro or college level. Even if a student doesn’t want to become a journalist, his writing will become clearer, more concise and better organized. Those are valuable assets in the professional world, whether someone is writing a legal brief, an enlightening sermon, a compelling marketing brochure, a dramatic ending to an NBA Finals game or a critical grant proposal for STEM research.
Student learning outcomes:
Through our courses, the student will benefit in the following ways:
- Writing will become clearer, more concise and better organized
- Critical thinking, grammar and punctuation skills will improve
- Introduction to multimedia platforms and technology
Department policies and/or General Education modifications:
- A minimum grade of C is required for all Journalism courses that apply towards the major or minor.
- All Journalism majors who entered Morehouse in Fall 2022 and forward must complete a minor from any other discipline. Exceptions are students who double major; they do not need a minor.
