LOYOLA UNIVERSITY CHICAGO

2024-2025 CATALOG

The Academic Catalog is the official listing of courses, programs of study, academic policies and degree requirements for Loyola University Chicago. It is published every year in advance of the next academic year.

Multimedia Journalism (BA)

Loyola’s multimedia journalism major engages students in the issues shaping today’s media landscape, from the decline of newspapers, the rise of apps, virtual reality, and fake news. As part of Loyola’s mission-based education, students learn to stand on Jesuit values and ethics in an uncertain and ever-changing world.

Multimedia journalism students practice the skills that every journalist must master, including researching, interviewing, reporting, and writing. Students also gain exposure to the latest technology, equipment, and software through Loyola’s Convergence Studio, Owl Lab, and on-site radio station, WLUW.

Courses are offered at Loyola’s Water Tower Campus, located in the heart of downtown Chicago. In addition to Loyola’s on-campus media outlets, such as our student newspaper, The Phoenix, students can gain experience through professional internships at renowned media outlets like the Chicago TribuneSun-Times, WLS, and WMAQ, as well as major corporations, nonprofits, and agencies.
