Would it be better to major in something else to become a journalist?

<p>Journalism is a very open field. To answer your question, I think majoring in political science and a language is a fantastic combination :slight_smile: As you said, you can get journalism experience through internships and writing for the college paper. In those internships you’ll learn, first-hand, some of the ethnics, practices, and methods of journalism and also build your portfolio. You definitely don’t need to be a journalism major to be a journalist. Of course down the road you can deepen your journalism study at Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism. :)</p>

<p>But take advantage of the undergraduate programs at Cal while you’re there, and have fun! Good luck</p>
