The Intensive Journalistic Writing (IJW) course blends journalism with an English composition course.

A non-production, English-credit class, it has none of the demands of layout, design and production schedules. Rather, it concentrates on teaching students modern writing techniques that are used by today’s newspaper and magazine writers.

Students who do not have an interest in taking or time in their schedules for Journalism I get training in thinking like a journalist within the environment of an English-credited class. Most IJW classes are open admission.

An IJW course not only provides an English credit toward graduation but also makes it possible for students to earn college credit if they pass the Advanced Placement English Language and Composition Examination.
