What is the difference between the Journalism diploma and the Bachelor of Applied Communications in Professional Writing?
The Journalism diploma is a two-year career program that focuses on training you to work in a newsroom or publication as a story editor, copy editor, reporter or photojournalist. Our graduates work for urban dailies or weekly rural newspapers, as well as community, arts, and local publications. Students have also worked writing news for radio, television, and on-line news services. The Bachelor of Applied Communications in Professional Writing program is a four-year applied degree that trains students to work in corporate communications, technical communications, editing, or as a freelance writer for magazines and other publications.
