Founded
in 1936
by Dr. Dwight Bentel
who taught the First Amendment
right of freedom of the press
meant ethical and responsible
journalism would always
be needed by the public.
Over time, he welcomed new forms
of media, but always insisted on
excellence in higher education.
Dr. Bentel wanted JMC School
graduates to always be respected
and competitive in ever changing
media job markets.
Fall 2013:
The
JMC School introduces a new
comprehensive
journalism degree:
MULTIMEDIA JOURNALISM
It replaces the four emphasis in
journalism,
broadcast, magazine, news
editorial
and photo.
In the future, all journalism
students
at San Jose State University
will learn about and develop
skills in all
of these areas while
specializing in one
area of interest in journalism.
Media employers have encouraged
this change and continue to see
SJSU as a leader in
providing excellent
media education that addresses
the needs of the profession now
and well into the 21st century.
In all our
advertising,
journalism and
public relations
classes we teach
students
the importance of
critical thinking,
advanced planning
and
responsible
decision-making.
JMC School students
MUST plan
their
academic schedules
carefully
in
collaboration with
the JMC
School
Academic Adviser
Prof. Cynthia
Fernald
who offers drop-in
advising
Mondays through
Thursdays,
fall and spring
semesters,
in DBH 125.
NOTE: If a
student fails to pay
her or his first
tuition installment
payment,
SJSU may remove that
student from all
registered classes.
Re-enrollment is
not
guaranteed. JMC
School policy
does not view this
payment
situation as
sufficient grounds
to authorize
any late add
petitions.
Documentation
supporting any
late
add/drop
petition is always
needed
after SJSU
deadlines have
passed.
