On average, about one quarter of the school\u2019s graduates continue employment in a job they originally had as an intern while the remainder go on to other employment in the field, employment in other areas or continue their academic careers. Generally, about 30% of journalism and mass communications majors continue in master\u2019s programs. In the most recent survey of alumni 75% reported full-time employment directly in the field or in a closely related field and 20% reported full-time employment in an unrelated field.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t<div  class=\"herdpress-block wp-block-herdpress-basic-content--plain basic-content--plain has-white-background-color has-background       \" data-bg=\"white\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"basic-content-plain__container max-w-5xl mx-auto relative z-5\">\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"basic-content-plain__content styled-list\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":105,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-121","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/jmc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/121","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/jmc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/jmc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/jmc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/105"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/jmc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=121"}],"version-history":[{"count":22,"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/jmc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/121\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3187,"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/jmc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/121\/revisions\/3187"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/jmc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=121"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
