When you are exempted from something or when something double-counts, please note that your courses must still add up to 32 units.
Three JPW options are required. JPW 499 Internship may be taken in spring, summer, or fall, but not before the junior year. The Journalism major also requires one elective from outside the JPW offerings, by advisement.
Eight courses are required for The College Core, plus a First Year Writing and First Year Seminar. For The College Core, at least one course in each of the following categories is required: Quantitative Reasoning/ Natural Sciences/Behavioral, Social or Cultural Perspectives/Historical Perspectives/Literary, Visual or Performing Arts/Belief Systems. Make sure that your The College Core courses cover Social Justice requirements: First Year Community Engagement/Gender and Sexuality/Global Perspectives/ and Race & Ethnicity. (Race & Ethnicity can also be fulfilled by JPW 321 Race, Gender, and the News, a JPW option.)
Minors are optional, as are second majors, but note that 12 courses for the major + 8 for The College Core + 1 First Year Seminar + 3 for foreign language + 1 for First Year Writing = 25, and the requirement for graduation is 32. Most minors are only 5 courses. Most majors are 10-12 courses, but for a student with a double major or a major and an interdisciplinary concentration, the The College Core responsibility is reduced to 7 courses (First Year Seminar + 1 in each of the categories of Math, Science, Social Science, History, Literary/Visual/Performing Arts, Philosophy/Religion) + Social Justice
