Why Study Journalism at Goshen College?
Write the story, then watch it reach a real audience while you are still a student.
The Journalism major at Goshen College is a degree in writing, research, and storytelling. You report for campus media from your first year.
You will learn from experienced faculty who are active media professionals, and you will put your skills into action right away through campus publications and media outlets. With an emphasis on storytelling, social responsibility, and hands-on learning, the program prepares you to become an ethical, informed communicator. You will cover real stories that matter, from breaking news to the voices of your own community.

A Place to Land, Not Just a Program
A big question for any prospective student is whether you will find your people. Goshen College is a small, values-centered community where you build a circle quickly, through the newsroom at The Record, the campus radio station 91.1 The Globe, and the wider work of the communication department. You start working in student media in your first year, so you belong here before you have declared a single course.
Journalism here rewards curiosity across subjects. If you are drawn to the sciences and the arts as much as to reporting, a Bachelor of Arts in a liberal arts setting lets you carry that breadth into your writing rather than setting it aside. You write about the world by studying the world.

What You’ll Study
The journalism major builds foundational skills in writing, editing, and reporting. You start with the craft of clear, accurate writing, then move into research and multimedia storytelling that carries across print, audio, and online formats.
Coursework pairs with real publishing from the start. You are encouraged to take part in student-led media, and to pursue co-curricular experiences that build a portfolio you can show an editor or a graduate program when you finish. View the complete program requirements in our catalog.
