The Bachelor of Applied Arts in Journalism is a collaborative degree program jointly provided by the University of Prince Edward Island and Holland College. Participants gain hands-on journalism training and practical skills (mainly through Holland College coursework) while also developing broad academic knowledge, subject expertise, and abilities in research, analysis, and critical evaluation (primarily through UPEI studies).
The typical program structure involves one initial year at the University, followed by two years in Holland College's Journalism diploma program, concluding with a final year back at UPEI. This culminating year often incorporates professional writing opportunities either on campus or through Holland College connections. Alternative study sequences between the institutions are allowed, provided students complete at least five courses (15 credit hours) after obtaining their Holland College diploma.
