The University of Montana School of Journalism
Welcome to The School of Journalism at The University of Montana, one of the nation's oldest accredited journalism programs.
Our undergraduate majors and graduate students pursue studies in one of four areas: reporting, writing and editing for print, broadcast reporting and editing, photojournalism or radio-television production.
Our full-time faculty members each have at least 10 years of experience as working journalists, and they stay fresh by working in newsrooms and broadcast studios. Our faculty members include a winner of the Freedom Forum's prestigious Journalism Professor of the Year award and a professor who is the school's Native American Journalist-in-Residence. Each fall semester, we bring to campus a respected journalist to mentor students on the school newspaper through the T. Anthony Pollner Fellowship.
Our hallmark is practical, thorough and ethical professional training that carries our students into careers in the news media and beyond.
The mission of The University of Montana School of Journalism:
- To provide students with a professional education in journalism;
- To teach them to think critically, act ethically, and communicate effectively;
- To help them understand the challenges and changes in the news media; and
- To inspire them to use their talents to improve journalism and enhance a diverse and democratic society.
