International Experience

As of Fall 2019, the International Experience (MCOM 180ITL) is no longer a requirement for Advertising and Public Relations majors.

The International Experience (MCOM 180ITL) is still a requirement for Journalism majors, however, a waiver is possible as long as the units are made up with a JMC elective or MCOM 180 (independent study). If you'd like to waive the International Experience, you just need to inform your Major advisor when you are ready to apply for graduation. For any question, feel free to email us at journalism@sjsu.edu.
