| Description | Our internationally renowned Bachelor of Journalism (BJ) program has produced many of the top journalists in Canada and around the world. Many other graduates have used the journalism and storytelling skills we deliver to pursue rewarding careers outside of the news media.
Study journalism and storytelling in Canada’s major media hub. Ottawa is home to the federal government, national NGOs, embassies, arts and culture groups, and business and high-tech communities. Many national media outlets, staffed by some of the country’s leading journalists, have bases in the city and often offer internships and career opportunities to our students. Our reputation is built on high-calibre professional training and academic instruction. Our program is designed so students take courses outside of Journalism and pursue a second major in another field. Develop your journalism and storytelling skills in dynamic hands-on workshops, focusing on high-quality work delivered via text, audio, video and various digital media. Take specialized journalism courses from business to the arts, politics to health science. Become a digital storyteller with a skill set that opens doors to countless exciting careers. Success in the media industry depends on acquiring a solid, broad-based education. You’ll take Canadian history and Indigenous history courses and choose electives from a wide range of other subject areas. A Combined Honours degree with another major is also available. | | |
