Because of its emphasis on concise, clear writing, journalism is also one the most popular majors for prelaw students. Students will learn how to recognize news, conduct interviews and work on the college print and online publications. Special emphasis is placed on meeting deadlines, accuracy and fairness. Jobs in the field of journalism almost always require a bachelor's degree, though it does not necessarily have to be in journalism. TRANSFER STUDENTS Completing the Associate Degree does not necessarily meet the university-admission requirements for transfer. An Associate Degree is not a requirement for transfer to either the CSU or UC campuses. Private and out-of-state colleges and universities have unique transfer requirements. However, if you would like to transfer to a university and earn an associate degree, early educational planning can make this goal achievable. You should meet with a counselor early in your studies to develop an Educational Plan that fulfills both transfer requirements and associate degree requirements. See page 286 of this catalog for more information on transfer requirements and resources. PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES Upon completion of this program, students will: • Demonstrate the ability to conduct research, gather information, write clearly and correctly, and present relevant news or persuasive information at a professional level. • Think critically, creatively, and independently; evaluate their own work and the work of others for accuracy, fairness, clarity, style, and correctness. • Demonstrate an understanding of the history of mass communi\u0002cations (journalism, cinema, broadcasting), the diversity of groups in a global society in relationship to communications, and the role of mass communications in society. • Demonstrate an understanding of the ethical concepts, legal implications, considerations, and practices that guide the mass media professions.\n\nPlease see the college Catalog for the most up-to-date description."},"ceterms:accreditedBy":["_:aa028aa7-4d1a-4c2f-ba56-7a3f254b6bd5"],"ceterms:dateEffective":"1972-06-01","ceterms:occupationType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://www.bls.gov/soc/","ceterms:targetNode":"https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/25-1122.00","ceterms:codedNotation":"25-1122.00","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Standard Occupational Classification"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Communications Teachers, Postsecondary"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Teach courses in communications, such as organizational communications, public relations, radio/television broadcasting, and journalism.
