The Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication's MMC degree program uses the teaching hospital model to immerse students in the practices of journalism and strategic communications and prepares them for careers in today's rapidly evolving media industry. This 36 credit hour program begins with a multimedia boot camp, teaching students how to report and produce stories with text, photo, video and audio elements. In the second semester, students can dive deeper into a selection of advanced courses, such as those focused on narrative writing, podcasting, advanced broadcast production, documentary production, health reporting, Spanish-language news, transborder coverage, strategic communications and digital entrepreneurship. The program culminates in a professional immersion experience in one of the Cronkite School's strategic communication labs or news bureaus in Los Angeles, Phoenix or Washington, D.C. Working under the guidance of award-winning journalists and strategists, these capstone programs offer real-world experience in a professional news or agency environment.
