What Can You Do With a Journalism Degree?
Learn to report, investigate, and tell true stories across modern media. We track 2 careers that a Journalism degree commonly leads to, with median pay from $67,440 to $79,960 depending on the role and how far you take it.
How these numbers work: A major does not have its own salary. The pay above comes from the 2 careers below that a Journalism degree commonly leads to, using each one's national median wage from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Entry-level roles sit toward the bottom of that range and advanced or graduate-level roles toward the top, so where you land depends on the specific career and any further education.
