Before coming to Rutgers, Samantha Marshak JMS’23 intended to choose a pre-law academic track, hoping to eventually go to law school. Once she arrived on campus, she decided to double-major in Cognitive Science and Journalism and Media Studies and minor in Philosophy. These were subjects she said she was passionate about and made sense for an aspiring attorney.







UNC Hussman offers five certificate programs that prepare students to launch careers in some of the most popular and most competitive sectors of the journalism and communication industries — business, health, sports, fashion and politics.
