UM J-School Students Clean Up in National Competitions

We think the best judge of a journalism program is the quality of the work current students are producing. Our students work on magazines, documentary film, photojournalism projects, newspapers, interactive online publications, TV programs, radio programs and podcasts, most of which are published in conjunction with our many professional partners. Those projects also regularly win big awards, regionally and nationally. 

You will end your time here with the kind of experience that will help you stand out, and the professional portfolio to prove it.
