In a recent survey of Montana Journalism graduates, more than 95 percent of those responding said they either had a job or were self-employed shortly after graduation. Of the most frequently mentioned job categories, journalism, marketing, and public relations were at the top.

Our graduates say they had a significant workplace advantage as a result of the practical, hands-on experience they received here. They also praised the faculty and the culture of collaboration and communication between staff and students. 

You can hear from some of our alumni here and from alumni in each of our degree programs here.

All students are required to complete an internship prior to graduation.
