What it isYou study how to report news, investigate stories, and communicate through written and digital media. Unlike a general media or communications program, journalism focuses specifically on gathering facts, interviewing sources, and producing news for publication. This program suits people who want to understand how information reaches the public and who are curious about current events and storytelling.This program trains you to teach health and physical education to junior and intermediate students (grades 7–10), combining teacher education with specialized study of how exercise, sport science, and health information systems affect wellbeing. Unlike a general education degree, it embeds science content directly into teaching methods so you graduate both certified to teach and grounded in the health sciences behind what you teach. It suits students who want to work with teenagers, care about fitness and wellness, and prefer a focused teaching path over a broad one.
