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.
