advancements in technology and communication, the journalism school should have classes that are more up to date and specific like marketing, which is also an evolving field. The creation of new courses is not as simple as writing a course description and ordering some textbooks. Many parties will be affected by this change. Some for the better, but some who are affected may not be as thrilled. First and for most, this change is for the students. We pay a high tuition so that we can get the best education and preparation for our future careers. Additional courses, that is more career specific for the journalism major will better prepare us for after graduation. With the current journalism degree requirements, I know I would not feel comfortable going into a sports broadcasting position, which is my goal and the reason for being journalism major. But at DU, there is one broadcasting specific course. That would equal to 40 hours. Out of my entire education here, I would like to have more than 40 hours of career specific courses.
