The Journalism program is designed with five career paths in mind. With an unparalleled foundation, students are prepared to serve and lead in the field best suited to their God-given talents and abilities. The Journalism program at Patrick Henry College will make sure graduates are ready for future success and impact wherever the journey leads.
1. Journalism
The calling of a Christian journalist is to tell captivating stories that integrate professional standards with a biblical worldview and a deep grasp of human nature. Our Bachelor of Arts in Journalism & Digital Media trains young Christians to understand our culture and then serve our society telling true stories of a fallen world infused with grace.
2. Public Relations & Communications
For those called to enter the public square, the Journalism & Digital Media Major prepares students to craft truthful and persuasive messages at the highest levels as press secretaries, speech writers, and more.
3. Advocacy & Ministry
To change the world, you have to make the case. That's why PHC graduates are ready to make a difference, whether drawing attention to persecuted Christians or explaining public policy.
4. Analysis & Business
The major's emphasis on seeing and thinking clearly is excellent preparation to engage the world of ideas through careers in scholarship, consulting, law, marketing, and policy analysis. Because ideas have consequences.
5. Graphic Design & Multi-Media
Building on their PHC education and internships, alumni have gone on to create powerful digital content in graphic design, photography, film, broadcast news, and website design, among others.
Journalism Multi-Media Teen Camp
Join us for Journalism Multi-Media Camp at Patrick Henry College! Multi-Media camp functions as a unique environment for Christian teens to interact with the idea of "How should media look from a Christian perspective?" Through experiencing life as a reporter in a digital world, Multi-Media Camp attendees will learn the fundamental skills of journalism, how to conduct interviews, how to record and edit video and audio files, and how to tell stories. Most importantly, Multi-Media Camp attempts to help students develop a framework for thinking biblically about the news and asking hard questions.
