If you are currently a Digital Journalism major, you can find answers to frequently asked questions here.
Undergraduate Degree Programs
B.A., Journalism: Science & the Environment
While many areas of Journalism are shrinking, Science and Environmental Journalism is an area of growth. More jobs in this specialty are being added every month. In addition, UAF is at the forefront in many areas of science, especially climate change. With so many stories in UAF’s backyard, there’s lots of material for students, making this specialization a natural fit. Finally, while there are dozens of graduate programs in Science and Environmental Journalism, just a handful of colleges and universities offer an undergraduate program, and none of them exists at a top research university. This makes UAF’s program unique.
