Journalism Associate in Arts (JOURN-AA)

Meets most of the requirements of nearby colleges, the Pensacola State College program stresses the basics of news and feature writing in a “real life” setting. Students gain practical experience as they produce the student newspaper, eCorsair.com. Internships with area publications may be available to students who excel. Required courses provide the liberal arts background that most universities and editors recommend.

Students should consult with an advisor at the college or university they plan to attend for the specific courses recommended by that institution. We strongly encourage you to contact the Pensacola State College English/Communications Department for assistance in planning your program of study.
