Journalism Programs in California
What graduates of Journalism programs earn one year after finishing, and what they borrow - college by college, from the federal College Scorecard data. A college's own figure prints only when the sample behind it is large enough to trust; smaller programs show the national median for the major, badged as such.
Programs below are ranked only when a college figure rests on at least 100 graduates. Programs on 30 to 99 graduates carry a small-program flag and are listed, not ranked. Anything smaller shows the national median for the major, badged as such.
