Why Study Journalism at IIT?
At IIT, we specialize in the journalism of technology, science, and business because of IIT's strengths in these areas. But we also take seriously journalists' responsibilities to their communities--large and small, present and future--and to the world at large.
That's why our curriculum has two large concentrations of courses: (1) journalism, and related subjects such as humanities and social science, and (2) technology, science, and business.
In fact, you'll do about 3.5 semesters of your 8 semesters' worth of course work in both of these areas, with the remaining semester's worth in interprofessional projects (IPROs) and free electives.
Visit the B.S. in Journalism of Technology, Science, and Business to find out more about studying journalism at IIT.
The Allen C. Lewis Prize, named for one of the founders of Illinois Institute of Technology, is designed to encourage high school journalism students to think critically and write clearly for the general public about complex topics and issues in technology, science, or business.
To be eligible for the contest, you must be a registered high school junior or senior in the United States during the 2009-2010 academic year. Details about the contest can be found here.
