Overview

What Sets Principia College Apart?

Principia’s Digital Media and Journalism majors use their skills and experience for the betterment of others in journalism, broadcasting, nonprofit and business organizations, and creative media. Students in the Digital Media and Journalism program travel to Los Angeles during spring break to meet with film producer and Principia alum David Lovegren and other entertainment industry professionals. Or, our students can earn credit over spring break in San Francisco on our photography field study program with former Christian Science Monitor editor and photojournalist Paul VanSlambrouck—in addition to a number of other field trips and internships available.
