What couses can I take to be in journalism -and- photojournalism?
I really don’t know much about college courses or anything along those lines, I just know what I want to do. I want to specialize in journalism AND photojournalism. Is that possible? And what courses should I take?
At Marshall University (where I’m a journalism major) it is possible to major in both. Most who want to usually major in journalism and minor in photography. All journalism majors have to take a few photojournalism courses, as well as designing courses.
When you decide to major in journalism, there are a few different types to choose from. Print (newspapers, magazines), broadcast (tv, radio), online (Internet based), public relations and advertising. I’m a print major, so most of my courses involve copy editing, reporting and designing newspapers and magazines.
I hope this helps..

Google the University of Massachusetts online journalism certificate program and look at all the course offerings and descriptions of the classes.
This will give you an excellent idea of what types of training are necessary.
