BACKGROUND NOTE
The first South Dakota State University course in
journalism was taught in 1908. By 1919, when the Board of Regents
approved a School of Printing, the journalism classes were taught in the
Agricultural Journalism Department. By 1924, the overlap between the
courses in journalism and the work of the School of Printing became
obvious, and the Department of Printing and Rural Journalism was
established. In 1935, a two-year course in printing was approved under
the Smith-Hughes Act, and the regular course work was expanded to a
five-year program.
Following World War II, the department saw a rapid
increase in enrollment, and a great demand for its services. Expansion
of these services continued throughout the next decade. One of these
expanded services was a laboratory newspaper. Students received
practical training in printing management through an apprenticeship at
the Volga Tribune, owned by the State Dakota State University
Alumni Association. This continued until the early 1970's.
In 1946, the Board of Regents approved majors in
journalism and printing journalism. In 1948, the American Association
of Schools and Department of Journalism accredited the program. The
South Dakota State University program, although small, was one of the
first programs accredited by the association and it has retained
accreditation through today. In 1956, new degrees were offered in
printing management and printing education and the course in Printing
and Rural Journalism was shortened to four years. A master's degree in
printing management was offered from 1958-1972.
Since the 1970's, the work of the department has
evolved. Students may now receive either a BS of BA in journalism with
a focus on one of the following: advertising, broadcast journalism or
new editorial. Agricultural journalism is offered through a joint
program of the College of Agriculture and Biological Sciences and the
Department of Journalism. The printing management degree was phased out
in 1995. Students are expected to graduate with knowledge of mass
communications, journalism and the liberal arts, and are prepared for
work in newspapers, magazines, radio and television.
