concentrate in a specific medium (online,
newspaper, magazine or broadcast) or gain expertise in a
cross-media skill such as editing, or in a specific beat in
journalism (including sports, business or international
reporting).

courses building skills and evaluating theories associated with
journalism, students may finish their program with an

and/or with the chance to produce The Ryersonian, The Ryerson
Review of Journalism andRyersOnline, or news and public affairs
programs for radio and television.

Six Grade 12 U/M
credits, including English, (ENG 4U/Anglais (EAE4U) with a minimum
average of 70 percent or higher. (Competition for spaces is tight,
and marks are generally much higher.)
Minimum
Grades
To
retain the clear academic standing you'll need for continuing your
degree studies and for graduation, you must maintain a
minimum grade point average (GPA), which is the average of
the grades you attain for individual courses.
Generally, the
university's minimum GPA is 2.00, which
roughly translates to a minimum average grade of no lower than C.
But the School of Journalism maintains additional requirements for
students in the four-year program, including a minimum grade of C
in first-year reporting courses and successful completion of a
Grammar test.
Internships
The Journalism
program includes an optional internship (or
equivalent) in the final year for students. In the broadcast,
newspaper and online streams an internship consists of six weeks'
work in a newsroom, or on a TV or radio show-faculty members will
help you find these positions. In the magazine stream, the
internship-equivalent consists of a full-year placement as a staff
member for one of two annual issues of the Ryerson Review of
Journalism. All these positions are supervised and graded by
Ryerson faculty and are unpaid.
