You will learn to report on current events and explore many different issues at a local, national, and international level. As a journalist, at NAU, you will be reporting on evidence-based news to build your reputation and accountability on your journey to becoming a professional journalist.

The knowledge and skills developed through a your journalism degree will also transfer to careers across disciplines and industries.
