Company Profile

Company Description:

Journalism is a boots-on-the-ground field, a profession that puts you where the action is. We’re detectives, truth seekers, researchers, writers, analysts, storytellers. Journalists are at the heart of what’s happening in the world, from the backwoods to the backyard. 

UAF’s Science and Environmental Journalism program is one of just a handful in the country. That means we’re at the forefront of a growing and in-demand area of the profession. And here you’ll do more than study journalism – you’ll practice journalism. The basics start in the classroom, but that’s only a part of your education. Attending a rocket launch? Investigating cutting-edge research? You’ll be there with your microphone, video camera or notebook capturing the moments that matter. Faculty with decades of real-world experience will guide you. 

Journalists are constantly learning, constantly contributing to society. They serve the public good. They’re agents of change. They make a difference. They write the first draft of history.
