Are you a student in Loyalist’s three-year journalism program?
Are you interested in sports?
If so, you may be eligible for a new dual credit option that combines the three-year Journalism – Online, Print and Broadcast (JOPB) program and the post-graduate Sports Journalism (SPJN) program.
This accelerated plan is open to qualified students in their third year of the JOPB program. The option allows them an opportunity to earn two college credentials in three years, rather than four.
To be eligible, a JOPB student must maintain an average of 75% with no failing grades in their first- and second-year JOPB courses. The student would then pursue a combination of JOPB and SPJN courses in their third year, before taking additional Web-based Sports Journalism courses in May and June.
Upon successful completion of the prescribed course work, a student would graduate with a JOPB advanced diploma and a Sports Journalism post-graduate certificate.
