Students in the Regular Program are generally required to take 18 credits in 300-400 level Liberal Arts courses (9 in Year III, 9 in Year IV). In consultation with the Journalism Program Advisor, students should use these electives to either develop a particular specialty, or help fill in gaps in their general knowledge.
For instance, students seeking to enhance their writing skills may develop a concentration by taking 300 and 400 level courses offered in the English Department's Rhetoric and Professional Writing Option. Similarly, the Department of Philosophy, History and Politics offers a number of 300 and 400 level courses that would enable students to enhance their knowledge of Canadian history, politics and social structure.
