Journalism and Business: BA and MBA in 5 Years
Stony Brook University has launched a combined degree program linking an undergraduate Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism with a Master’s of Business Administration. The program is designed for students interested in enhancing their journalism careers with an advanced knowledge of business and for students interested in a business career with a great foundation in journalism.
The combination allows students to complete the four-year BA and two-year MBA in five years.
Students are not expected to come to the program with any previous business knowledge. Since there are no business background requirements, undergraduates who enroll in the program are comfortable with the learning material and enjoy the hands-on business experience they are getting. All students take an intensive eight-week program in the summer after their junior year, which allows them to take MBA courses in their senior year.
In their senior year, students take 15 MBA credits. In the following summer, students undertake a required internship in the area of business journalism. In their fifth year, students take 33 MBA credits to complete the 60-credit MBA program.
The MBA course work fulfills the required Multi-disciplinary Concentration in the Journalism major, effectively reducing the undergraduate journalism requirement by 15 credits.
Among the required journalism courses are JRN 333 – Business Reporting and JRN 433 – Business & Financial Seminar.
Admission to the program requires a GPA of at least 3.0 and approval of the Director of the Undergraduate Journalism program and of the MBA Admissions Committee.
The BA+MBA is geared for high-achieving students who are mature, motivated and reliable.
Juniors interested in applying for this program should go to the College of Business web site at www.stonybrookcob.com or go to the Office of Student Services, Harriman Hall, Room 102.
Total MBA credits: 60
Total Undergraduate Credits: 112

Aug. 31, 2009: The Greene Gazette highlights students' work from the first Robert W. Greene Institute for High School Journalists
High school students from around the area recently completed The Robert W. Greene High School Journalism Institute.
The institute is a free crash course for high school students that provides expert instruction and hands-on experience in the fundamentals of reporting, writing, editing and photography for print, online and broadcast journalism. Reporters, editors and photographers from some of the New York area’s most respected newspapers, broadcast and online news outlets trained student journalists over the summer using state-of-the-art technology and techniques to help students become the world’s next generation of watchdogs.
Long Island high school students who will be juniors or seniors in the fall live on the campus of Stony Brook University and work in the School of Journalism's newsroom and broadcast center.
The program is named after Robert W. Greene, a two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning Newsday reporter and editor. Bob was also a founding faculty member of Stony Brook University’s School of Journalism. Students follow in the tradition of Bob Greene's approach to journalism: that journalists learn best from experience.

Aug. 25, 2009: Dean Miller named Director of the Center for News Literacy
Dean Miller was named Director of the Center for News Literacy on August 25, 2009. The center, established in September 2007 and housed at Stony Brook University’s School of Journalism, is the nation’s first Center for News Literacy designed to educate current and future news consumers on how to judge the credibility and reliability of news.
For more than 25 years, Miller was a reporter and editor at newspapers in the Northern Rockies. For 14 of those years he was managing editor and then executive editor of the Post Register, the employee-owned daily in Idaho Falls, Idaho. During his tenure, the Post Register won numerous national journalism awards and grew readership against the national freefall in newspaper circulation.
Under Miller’s stewardship, the Post Register won the E.W. Scripps Distinguished Service to the First Amendment award in 2006 for its investigation of the Boy Scouts organization’s failure to drum out pedophile staffers. The Scout investigation was the subject of “In a Small Town,” a WNET documentary. For his first-person account of the organized backlash against the newspaper, Miller won the national Mirror Award for media writing.
Selected for a Nieman Fellowship in Journalism at Harvard in 2007, Miller advised student journalists while studying management and comparative religion. During his Nieman year, Miller also filmed and edited a documentary film about the Idaho songwriter whose hit tune Paul McCartney played to get into John Lennon’s Quarrymen.
Miller has taught at The Poynter Institute for Media Studies and in Poynter’s traveling National Writers Workshops since 1999 and has been an Ethics Fellow at the Poynter Institute since 2006. A First Amendment advocate, Miller taught workshops across Idaho on issues related to public records and open government. He also taught marketing, redesign and writing to corporate executives and staff.
Miller was a reporter on the Spokesman-Review team that was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for its coverage of the FBI’s shooting of four citizens at Ruby Ridge. He also wrote in a freelance capacity for the Washington Post, Christian Science Monitor, International Herald Tribune, High Country News and US News & World Report.
Miller earned his B.A. in English at Cornell where he was an editor of the Cornell Daily Sun. He is a member of the American Press Institute board of newsroom advisors and was co-founder of Idahoans for Openness in Government (IDOG). He lives in Stony Brook with his wife and two children.
