DISTRIBUTION REQ AT MSU & internship queries

Colleges & Universities Michigan State University

<p>Hey guys, I got into the Spring intake of Journalism.</p>

<p>I’m out of the country so I’m rather clueless to the distribution requirements deemed mandatory by American universities. </p>

<p>Just wanted to clarify if there’s a need to take Science subjects like Chemistry, Physics and what not and if the exams are tough? I’m not talking about the effort needed to be put in but rather in my home country, I do 2 years of Army so I’ve more or less purged my mental faculties off those Math and Science equations. </p>

<p>So are they going to be built upon what was taught in high school/secondary or will they equip you with what you need to know at the undergraduate level?</p>

<p>What about internship possibilities? Is it hard getting them?</p>

<p>Finally, I know I’ve asked this before, but how does MSU fare as a Journ school?</p>

<p>Thanks mates</p>

<p>For non-science majors, they do have a science distribution requirement. You would have to take one physical science, one biological science, and a lab. However, these classes are specially designed for non-science majors (they aren’t as rigorous as per-say, weeder intro science classes). Professors will equip you with what you need to know.</p>

<p>I have some friends who are in the Journalism school and they seem to enjoy it and have obtained internships.</p>
