Founded in 1936
by Dr. Dwight Bentel
who taught the First Amendment
right of freedom of the press
meant ethical and responsible
journalism would always
be needed by the public.

Over time, he welcomed new forms
of media, but always insisted on excellence in higher education.

 Dr. Bentel wanted JMC School
graduates to always be respected
and competitive in ever changing
media job markets.

 


Fall 2013:
 

The JMC School introduces a new
comprehensive
journalism degree:

MULTIMEDIA JOURNALISM

It replaces the four emphasis in journalism,
broadcast, magazine, news editorial
and photo.

In the future, all journalism students
at San Jose State University
will learn about and develop skills in all
of these areas while specializing in one
area of interest in journalism.

 Media employers have encouraged
this change and continue to see
SJSU as a leader in providing excellent 
media education that addresses
the needs of the profession now
and well into the 21st century.

for all advertising, journalism and public
relations students.

Prof. Fernald's
Office is Dwight Bentel Hall 125.

Stop in to see her Monday through

School of Journalism & Mass Communications

Policy:
NO LATE ADDS / NO LATE DROPS


I
n all our advertising, journalism and
public relations classes we teach
students the importance of
critical thinking,
advanced planning and
responsible decision-making.

JMC School students MUST plan
their academic schedules carefully
in collaboration with the JMC
School Academic Adviser
Prof. Cynthia Fernald
who offers drop-in advising
Mondays through Thursdays,
fall and spring semesters,
in DBH 125.

NOTE: If a student fails to pay
her or his first tuition installment payment, SJSU may remove that student from all
registered classes.

Re-enrollment is not
guaranteed. JMC School policy
does not view this payment
situation as
sufficient grounds to authorize
any late add petitions.
 

Documentation supporting any
late add/drop
petition is always needed
after SJSU
deadlines have passed.

It's Your Time
to Shine!

From Johannes Gutenberg, and his invention of the printing press,
that connected people worldwide for the first time in human history...

To Oprah Winfrey who turned television, already a powerful medium
into a global phenomenon...
 
To Mark Zuckerberg and his college creation of "Facebook"
that now instantaneously inspires global protests for freedom...

Timely critical thinking and innovative media ideas have
always changed the world.

 

 


 


Inspired by our campus history and students
from diverse cultures and life experiences,
we offer exciting new ideas
that inform,
excite and motivate people worldwide!

 

 



Today's
students continue
our
rich tradition
for
breaking
new ground,
revitalizing
traditional
media 
and
pioneering
responsible
innovations
in
social media.

 
Embracing change, with a global reputation for excellence
in advertising, journalism and public relations education,


WE LEARN BY DOING !
