Dual Degree - Bachelor of Arts - English & Master of Arts - Broadcast Journalism and Media Production (4 + 1)

The English major at Sacred Heart prepares students personally and professionally for the world beyond college. The diverse curriculum in languages, literature, cultures and creative expression prepares students for life long learning and success in a variety of advanced degrees and professions.

At Sacred Heart, students will develop the skills they need to read analytically; write clearly and effectively; and express a clear, logical argument. They will gain a strong foundation in a broad spectrum of literature, and by the time students graduate they will have skills and knowledge, including reading, writing, and critical thinking, that never lose value and are relevant to any field, in any job market, at any time.

Sacred Heart University’s journalism & media Production (JMP) program focuses on the “next generation of media production.” The New York Times has reported on the “fundamental transformation” in the news industry toward “digital journalists who produce, record and edit much of their material.” This program will supply the communications and news industries with professional communicators in ways that only a media studies program with a strong digital multimedia production component can. The proof is in the large number of alumni already working as reporters and media producers across the nation and around the globe.
