The Bachelor of Arts in Literary Journalism program at the University of California, Irvine, offered through the School of Humanities, is uniquely focused on nonfiction prose that adopts the narrative and stylistic techniques of fiction. Students gain a solid foundation in both writing and literary history, developing advanced skills in reporting, narrative writing, memoir, profiles, and essays on a range of topics including culture, politics, science, travel, food, sports, and justice. The program emphasizes intensive writing seminars (including three core workshops), portfolio development, and the study of the theory, history, and ethics of literary journalism. Graduates are well prepared for careers requiring sophisticated writing/communication skills or for graduate journalism programs.
