The specific format and content of the portfolio is determined by the faculty coordinator of the track(s) in which a student is enrolled: broadcast journalism, news-editorial, public relations or visual communications. Students pursuing more than one track must meet portfolio requirements of both tracks. Students must enroll in JOU 498 in fall or spring semester of the senior year.
