I'm in community college. I am locked into a degree program for Mass Communications with a field study of Journalism. I am taking a lot of writing classes and four separate Journalism classes. You will also have to take your basics. Get with an advisor at the college you plan on attending and they will be able to tell you exactly what is required to graduate with a degree in Journalism. Good luck!!!

Getting a job as a journalist will depend on the quality of your writing, not any classes that you take, so take writing classes and get as much practice writing as you can. Look for chances to write for the college newspaper and other publications, even if there's no pay. You want the experience and the clips.

One good way to succeed as a journalist is to develop an area of expertise that other journalists might lack. If you learn a foreign language, you can be a foreign correspondent. If you learn about law, you can be a legal reporter. If you learn about technology, you can be a technology journalist. If you learn about economics, business, and finance, you can be a financial journalist. Choose an area of expertise to study in addition to journalism, and it will give you an edge.
