UW-Eau Claire journalism advantages

Journalism

The Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communication nationally accredits the advertising, broadcast journalism, print journalism and public relations emphases.
The student newspaper, The Spectator, has won awards from the Society of Professional Journalists and the Wisconsin Newspaper Association and provides opportunities for reporters and for advertising staff members in hard copy form and in its new online edition.
Students can join our award-winning Forensics Team, which ranked 10th in the nation during the 2005 National Forensics Association competition and 7th nationally during the 2005 American Forensics Association competition.
Student participation in WUEC-FM activities (affiliated with National and Wisconsin Public Radio) and a CATV (cable TV) studio also provide excellent leadership opportunities and experience for students.
Students gain valuable information and experience by joining the Society of Professional Journalists, an on-campus student chapter of a national organization that provides opportunities to network with local and regional news professionals.
Internships provide valuable, hands-on experience for dedicated students.
UW-Eau Claire classes, unlike those at many other public universities, are not taught by teaching assistants.
Small classes, individual attention.
