Smith College Journalism Concentration

Degrees offered

Smith College, a private women's liberal arts college, offers journalism through a Journalism Concentration rather than a standalone major or department; students declare it alongside a primary major after acceptance and adviser assignment.

Programs and emphasis

The concentration maintains a biweekly newsletter for students and connects concentrators to journalism, publishing, and media internships, including through Smith's study abroad programs in Geneva, Florence, Paris, and Hamburg. Smith's Lazarus Center for Career Development compiles lists of past student internship placements in journalism-related organizations.
