About the course

Course work and experience leading to a journalism degree prepare students to work within the fields of traditional, innovative and emerging media. The career-focused curriculum combines classroom, experiential and collaborative learning with research and specialty centers, enabling students to apply their talents toward relevant and current issues. Students acquire a broad foundation while achieving in-depth knowledge of specific areas. Much of our news and information storytelling appears in visual form as information graphics. Sometimes an information graphic (also called infographic) is easier than text to explain a complex idea quickly. An infographic can appear in various forms, such as a pie or bar chart, map, diagram and more. They help to explain trends and statistics (e.g., changes in population), what is happening in various parts of the country (e.g., states that legalize marijuana), procedures (e.g., how to exit an airplane in case of an emergency) and more.

　　Infographics can be used in place of the written word or to supplement it. Students interested in infographics are encouraged to be a member of the international student Society of News Design, housed in MSU?s School of Journalism. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
