A complete overhaul of journal
ism degree requirements to
strengthen' three existing pro
grams at the University was an
nounced today by Dr. William
Hall, director of the School of
Journalism.
The new programs will go into
effect next fall, he said. Involved
are the journalism-degree pro
grams in the Colleges of Arts and
Sciences and Agriculture, and the
department of home economics.
Dr. Hall said, "We h?ve not
added substantially to the number
of hours of journalism required be
cause we recognize the folly of
producing technicians with no
background to cope with subject
matter.
"Essentially, we are re-designing
our programs so as to require
all majors to master the basic
writing and reporting skills neces
sary for success in any are of
journalism. Specializing com;s
second and is provided for in the
revised programs."
Nebraska is an agricultural
state. Dr. Hall continued, and it is
vital that the journalists serving
as spokesmen for the farm popula
tion undergo the best training the
University can provide.
Major changes in the agricul
tural and borne economics pro
grams be explained, will include:
L A special section in advanced
reporting for the majors.
2. Practical experience with the
TTvTTTnT!f QfaHrwi tfvl 1HH Aprs-
! cultural campus. Senior journal
ism majors will prepare publicity
releases, direct farm radio and
television news shows and write
and edit agricultural journals.
Dr. Hall said that while the
School's Professional Certificate
requirements have not yet been
completed, they would probably
include: a specifier' grade aver
age, completion of a research proj
ect related to the student's par
ticular interest field, and a di
rected internship.
Approximately 85 per cent of
journalism majors at the Univer
sity are enrolled in one jf the
three revised programs. The re
mainder are wor'ing toward de
grees in Teachers College and
Business Administration.
