Travel with J&M
Whether it is learning how to report while in Prague or going to a major US city to network with professionals and alumni, our study abroad and networking trips broaden our students’ perspectives and shape their goals.
I engaged in numerous hands-on experiences at the School of Journalism and Media that have significantly helped me begin my career before I even graduated. Getting to do real-world work as an underclassman shaped my skills and gave me a step up in the job market.”
