In the 2009-10 academic year, the J-School will be celebrating 100 years of journalism education at MSU.
The first class was in the Agriculture College. We formally became a School of Journalism in 1929-30.
We will be celebrating throughout that year with lectures, visits by alumni, a special homecoming celebration, and a dedicated effort to raise our endowments to support students, faculty research efforts (creative, professional and scholarly), training and technology.

Online journalism courses from MSU’s J-School!
Summer term 2009, we are offering JRN 108 Introduction to Mass Media for Metro Detroit area entering freshmen beginning July 6. This three credit class will be offered on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9:10-11 a.m. at Seaholm High School in Birmingham.
For Fall 2009, we are offering online two graduate level courses and one undergraduate course. The graduate courses are JRN 808 Sec. 731, News Management 3.0 taught by Ken Winter, retired editor of The Petoskey News Review and JRN 808m Sec. 730 Art in the News: The Chicago Tribune Collection taught by former Detroit Free Press editor Joe Grimm. Undergraduates can register for this course under JRN 408, Sec, 730 Illustrated Newspaper History.
We are also offering online and off campus courses (at the Macomb University Center) for middle and high school teachers seeking their journalism endorsement from the state or pursing an M.A. in Journalism with an education focus. For more information on that, visit the MIPA website.
Current students should enroll as normal. Non-MSU students should register using the 3-step procedure below.
3 Easy Steps to Enroll
in JRN 108 or Any JRN Online and Off-Campus Class for Fall 2009
Step 1: Click here to enroll in the class using the Lifelong Ed Form if you were not enrolled in an MSU last semester.
Step 2: Activate your MSU NetID (so you can receive and pay your tuition bill) You need your PID and PAN. You will get these after you register through Lifelong Ed.

We’re known as the J-School. Take some time and explore this web site. It contains gigs of information about the J-School, resources, scholarships, programs, our students and faculty.
Keep up on J-School news and events on this website and on my blog.
Now more than ever, journalism is, to me, the most exciting and dynamic career available. It’s more than just a job, it’s a calling. The news industry is undergoing a tsunami of change. How folks consume news and information has changed radically from the days of print and broadcast only. Today’s college students will be tomorrow’s innovators and leaders in reinventing the news business.
The demand for reliable news and information has never been higher, and the need for quality journalism has never been greater. The future of this nation depends on journalists doing our constitutionally protected watchdog role.
Storytelling is now done in a variety of formats using text, photos, video, sound slides, hyperlinks, graphics, maps, databases and more. Deadlines are 24/7, 365 days of the year. J-School students are learning the skills needed to thrive in this warp speed news environment. We call it Journalism 3.0. They are in high demand as both interns and in the job market after graduation.
We invite you to contact us if you have any questions about the MSU School of Journalism or the many opportunities available to jump start you on a career in media. We can be reached via email at jrn@msu.edu or by telephone at (517)353-6430.
