Bachelor of Journalism Program 

Students are introduced to journalism as practiced across all forms of media within the first two years, after which they may choose courses to concentrate in a specific medium (online, newspaper, magazine or broadcast) or gain expertise in a cross-media skill such as editing, or in a specific beat in journalism (including sports, business or international reporting).

After taking courses building skills and evaluating theories associated with journalism, students may finish their program with an internship at a professional news organization and/or with the chance to produce material for our newspaper (The Ryersonian), our magazine, (The Ryerson Review of Journalism), and news and public affairs programs for radio and television.
