    Center for Journalism and Multimedia
    A Career Academy
     
    Students in the CJAM program are introduced to best practices for gathering, reporting, and publishing by teachers with real-world journalism experience. 
     
    This program offers two pathways; Print & Digital Journalism, and Broadcast Journalism. Through these pathways, students complete a sequence of courses in communications which prepares them for further education and careers in multimedia journalism. One of the best aspects of CJAM is that classes provide technical skills and hands-on learning.
