Journalism <strong>of</strong> <strong>Technology</strong>, Science, and Business (JTSB)<br />
Journalism is possibly the most important occupation in<br />
a free and democratic society and the demand for journalists<br />
is increasing as news outlets proliferate. Today, in<br />
addition to newspapers and magazines, there is news on<br />
radio, television, cable, satellite TV and radio, web sites,<br />
and even cell phones and iPods. As the number and types<br />
<strong>of</strong> news outlets increase, many are also specializing in science,<br />
technology, and business. The JTSB degree program<br />
meets this specialized demand by incorporating IIT’s considerable<br />
resources in the sciences, business, engineering,<br />
and other technological areas with the Humanities department’s<br />
strengths in communication and STS (science and<br />
technology in society). This is a rigorous curriculum: our<br />
students go above and beyond the minimum general education<br />
requirements in mathematics, the sciences and engineering,<br />
computer science, business, communication, and<br />
humanities courses. By educating strong writers who have<br />
a clear understanding <strong>of</strong> science, technology, and business,<br />
and the way such disciplines relate to society, the JTSB<br />
program gives its graduates a competitive edge in the workplace.<br />
