Journalism
Tell the World What’s Happening
Promote the people’s right to know. Learn how to research complex issues and events, synthesize information and present it so readers can understand. A solid liberal arts foundation prepares you to apply your skills to journalism and related fields such as law, business and government.
Find your niche. Choose from three Marquette journalism tracks—newspaper, magazine/publications and visual communication. (Broadcast journalists complete their major through the Broadcast and Electronic Communication department.)
Build your clip file. Work and get paid for it at the Marquette Tribune, our award-winning, student-run, twice-weekly newspaper. Even as a freshman, you can work on a broad range of important stories, from city issues to athletics to entertainment.
See how names make news. Marquette’s journalism graduates have included the editorial page editor for the New York Times, a senior writer and columnist for Sports Illustrated and Pulitzer Prize-winning writers for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Seattle Times and Washington Post, as well as countless editors, writers, publishers and reporters across the country.
