MSUM’s Photojournalism degree is unique to the area. MSUM often becomes a destination for students interested in truthful, digital storytelling through visuals and audio.
Photojournalism students consistently produce regional and national award-winning stories for print and television, especially in the Society of Professional Journalists’ TV news photography category.
You’ll jump right in to the program your first semester at MSUM, taking classes to build your foundation from the start. By the end of your time at MSUM, you’ll have a strong, diverse resume and samples of your work to show prospective employers.
