MYTH: "Journalism is dead! You aren't going to get a job as a Hussman School graduate."
FACT: According to the 2016 Hussman School Careers Services graduate survey, the Hussman School has a 93.4 percent rate of graduates employed or enrolled in further education.
Through a revamped curriculum, students learn the skills they need to succeed in the new media environment, whether they pursue careers in journalism, advertising, public relations or other communications fields.
