Journalism Major Added To Undergraduate Study
2006 June 29
A journalism major was added to undergraduate study with the first students admitted to the program in fall 2006. The program will be housed in the Department of English, and the degree awarded will be a bachelor of arts in journalism. The concentrations of the program will be on "science, technology, environment and medicine (STEM); visual and digital media; public affairs; and general journalism." William Rainbolt is the director of the program. The new major grows out of a journalism minor established in 1973. UAlbany is the first SUNY University Center to offer a journalism major.
