Online Programs, Minors and Course Offerings
The P.I. Reed School of Journalism recognizes the increasing need for flexibility in student scheduling. We know that students can’t always be on campus for classes and that online programs are an excellent alternative.
Whether you are a WVU student seeking a minor, a student from another university needing transferable coursework, a high school student looking to gain college credits early, or a working professional interested in enhancing your marketability – we have options for you.
Several courses and programs at the School of Journalism are available online – during the regular academic semesters and in the summer – so you can continue your education when it’s most convenient for you.
Online Undergraduate Minors
The School of Journalism offers four minor programs that are open to non-journalism students enrolled at WVU and are available through online courses:
- Minor in Advertising
- Minor in Public Relations
- Minor in Health Promotion
- Minor in Sport Communication*
*Offered in conjunction with the WVU College of Physical Activity and Sport Science, the sport communication minor is a blended minor with online and on-campus courses. The minor is open to both School of Journalism students and non-journalism students.
For more information, visit the links above or contact the School of Journalism’s Online Undergraduate Programs Coordinator Cathy Chickerell at 304-293-3133 or SOJonline@mail.wvu.edu.
A fifth minor was developed specifically for School of Journalism students in conjunction with the WVU College of Business and Economics:
Students interested in the media entrepreneurship minor should contact School of Journalism Assistant Dean Oliver Street at oliver.street@mail.wvu.edu.
Online Courses for Non-WVU Students
The School of Journalism offers a variety of journalism courses available to students from other universities and colleges who may be able to substitute these courses for credit hours at their own institutions. High school students may also earn college credit for certain School of Journalism courses through the West Virginia University Attaining College Credits and Experiences while in Secondary School (ACCESS) program.
For additional information, visit the non-WVU students section of the website or contact the School of Journalism’s Online Undergraduate Programs Coordinator Cathy Chickerell at 304-293-3133 or SOJonline@mail.wvu.edu.
Online Master’s and Graduate Certificate Programs
The Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) master’s program at the School of Journalism is offered exclusively online, enabling students to earn their degrees in this fast-growing field from anywhere in the world. A degree in IMC equips graduates with the latest strategic communications techniques that differentiate them from others in the field. Our 13-course master’s degree program helps students view marketing as a whole picture and not just as separate entities of public relations, advertising and marketing communications.
In addition to the full master’s degree program, we also offer two graduate certificate programs. Working professionals can earn a five-course graduate certificate in Integrated Marketing Communications or in Digital Marketing Communications, which allows students to explore digital media implications for marketers, as well as the evolving connections between advertising, technology, design, society, culture and business.
