Catalog

Students in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication who have completed at least 12 credit hours of CU-Boulder course work for a letter grade in any single semester with a term grade point average of 3.750 or better are included on the dean’s list and receive a notation on their transcript and a letter from the dean.

Journalism and mass communication students may graduate with general honors and/or school honors. Students interested in general honors must consult the honors program office. The school may award the bachelor’s degree with honors to students who have a 3.500 cumulative GPA and a 3.500 GPA in journalism and mass communication courses, complete an independent study in journalism and mass communication involving scholarly research, and demonstrate a high degree of professional skill. Application for school honors must be made to the student’s advisor the semester prior to the one in which the honors project would be done. Transfer students must complete at least 60 hours in residence. Complete information on honors requirements is available at the main office.

Students who acheive a 3.750 overall GPA will graduate with distinction. Students whose academic records rank in the upper 10 percent are eligible for election to Kappa Tau Alpha in recognition of outstanding scholastic achievement.

Alumni and friends of the school have made it possible to provide more than three dozen annual scholarships and awards to officially admitted students in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication. The deadline for application is February 20.
