What is a Multiplatform Journalism Degree?

Graduates with a degree from Florida Tech in multiplatform journalism enter the workforce with the skills needed to prepare story content for the diverse range of media available today. Combining journalism and communications technology, graduates understand how to merge text, images, and video to create engaging content to publish across any number of digital platforms. Whether working in news, marketing, social media, public relations, multimedia development, broadcasting, or website communications, graduates with a bachelor’s in multiplatform journalism are also trained in media law and ethics. Plus, as a science and technology-focused university, Florida Tech graduates gain focused experience in creating and publishing for the sciences.

Why Pursue a Multiplatform Journalism Degree at Florida Tech?

Multimedia journalism is one of the most diverse careers available today, with job opportunities in public relations, marketing and media, corporate social responsibility, broadcast media, video production, political communication, crisis communication planning, and Web and social media, among others. Such diverse employment options demand students have a breadth of skills essential for today’s global communication environment. Florida Tech provides all that and more.

Located in the Heart of Florida’s High-Tech Corridor

Florida Tech is the perfect place for a BS in Multiplatform Journalism. The 130-acre campus is located on the Space Coast (so named because of the presence of NASA and the Kennedy Space Center on Cape Canaveral just north of us), minutes away from the Indian River Lagoon, the most diverse estuary in North America.

The area has the fifth-largest high-tech workforce in the country, with more than 5,000 high-tech corporations and government and military organizations located nearby. This workforce also provides an abundance of internship and employment opportunities.

Florida Tech is just over the causeway from the Atlantic Ocean with its 72 miles of beautiful beaches, and a short trip to the Florida Keys or the Orlando theme parks. We also have a rich campus life that includes a wide range of intramural and collegiate sports, clubs, and social activities.

It All Started With 37 Cents

Florida Tech was founded in 1958 as "Brevard Engineering College." It all started as an idea in the mind of Jerome P. Keuper, a visionary physicist working at Cape Canaveral.

As university lore would have it, Keuper expressed his desire to create a scientific and technological university to a friend over drinks at a local pub. Overhearing the conversation, a fellow patron pushed 37 cents in change across the bar and said, “There’s your first donation, Jerry. Now, go and build that college.”

So, Keuper did. And what started with 37 cents as a night school for the early “missilemen” of the U.S. space program is now a comprehensive national research university recognized worldwide for excellence in preparing students for careers of the future.
