The Non-Professional Degree in Mass Communication: A Study of Curriculum and Student Enrollment. AASDJ Studies on Education in Journalism and Mass Communication, No. 3.
Clarke, Peter
A survey of 57 of the 61 schools accredited by the American Association of Schools and Departments of Journalism found seven schools offering a program of studies not designed to prepare students for vocations or careers in journalism. At these institutions an average of 10% of the junior/senior undergraduate majors--about 250 students nationwide--are considered to be in the nonprofessional track. Another 12 accredited schools are considering starting nonprofessional programs. Programs at the University of Washington, the University of Wisconsin, Pennsylvania State, and the University of Michigan are described in detail. (AA)
