      For
      anyone
      wondering
      what
      is
     
     
      happening
      with
      the
      Journalism
      degree
      pro-
     
     
      gram
      here
      at
      UPEI
      (or
      for
      those
      of
      you
     
     
      who
      don't
      know
      it
      even
      exists),
      the
      pro-
     
     
      gram
      is
      finally
      on
      its
      feet,
      according
      to
      co-
     
     
      ordinator
      Anne
      Furlong.
      While
      the
      num-
     
     
      bers
      of
      those
      attending
      the
      program
      are
     
     
      small
      -
      and
      estimated
      three
      of
      us
      -
      the
      first
     
     
      year
      is
      almost
      over,
      and
      it
      looks
      as
      though
     
     
      the
      second
      year
      is
      ready
      for
      those
      who
      are
     
     
      thinking
      of
      signing
      up
      in
      September.
     
    

    
     
      For
      those
      who
      have
      never
      heard
     
     
      of
      it,
      the
      BAAPJ
      (Bachelor
      of
      Applied
      Arts
     
     
      in
      Print
      Journalism)
      is
      an
      articulated
     
     
      degree
      that
      means
      you
      spend
      two
      years
      at
     
     
      Holland
      College
      taking
      the
      community
     
     
      college
      component
      of
      the
      program
      while
     
     
      spending
      another
      two
      years
      at
      UPEI,
      tak-
     
     
      ing
      a
      mélange
      of
      courses
      ranging
      from
     
     
      political
      science
      to
      economics.
     
    

    
     
      You
      can
      take
      the
      combination
      of
     
     
      school
      a
      variety
      of
      ways.
      For
      example,
      I
     
     
      graduated
      from
      Holland
      College
      first,
      then
     
    
   
   
    
     
      decided
      to
      come
      to
      UPEI
      for
      the
      second
     
     
      half.
      The
      path
      that
      is
      recommended
      is
      to
     
     
      take
      one
      year
      at
      UPEI,
      two
      years
      at
     
     
      Holland
      College,
      then
      the
      final
      year
      at
     
     
      UPEI.
      The
      last
      part
      is
      non-negotiable;
      the
     
     
      final
      year
      is
      to
      be
      spent
      at
      UPEI.
     
    

    
     
      Still,
      as
      someone
      who
      has
      already
     
     
      graduated
      from
      Holland
      College,
      I
      recom-
     
     
      mend
      (personally)
      that
      the
      Holland
      College
     
     
      part
      be
      taken
      first
      because
      you
      learn
      to
     
     
      take
      notes,
      listen
      -
      and
      ultimately
      decide
     
     
      whether
      or
      not
      you
      will
      crack
      in
      a
      news-
     
     
      room,
      becoming
      an
      alcoholic
      (folklore
      has
     
     
      it
      that
      alcoholism
      is
      rampant
      in
      the
      profes-
     
     
      sion).
     
    

    
     
      A
      quick
      look
      at
      the
      UPEI
      Website
     
     
      or
      calendar
      will
      tell
      you
      what
      courses
      you
     
     
      need
      to
      graduate
      with
      you
      BAAPJ.
      It
      is
     
     
      different
      from
      a
      Bachelor
      of
      Arts
      because
     
     
      the
      BAAPJ
      is
      an
      articulated
      degree,
      mean-
     
     
      ing
      you
      cannot
      go
      onto
      a
      Master's
      degree
     
     
      afterwards.
      Basically,
      says
      Dr.
      Furlong,
     
     
      UPEI
      is
      proving
      the
      BAAPJ
      as
      a
      service
      to
     
     
      Islanders
      who
      don't
      want
      to
      go
      off
      P.E.I.
      to
     
     
      study
      journalism.
      It
      differs
      from

      journalism.
      While
      at
      Holland
     
     
      College,
      students
      work
      at
      news-writing

      class,
      and
      with

      of

      During

      component,
      students
     
     
      work
      in
      all
      disciplines.
     
    

    
     
      While
      other
      journalism
      schools
      in
     
     
      the
      region,
      including

      Halifax,
      which
      offers
      a
      Bachelor
      of
     
     
      Journalism,
      objected
      to
      the
      start
      up
      of
      the
     
     
      program,
      citing
      concern
      there
      would
      be
      too
     
     
      many
      journalism
      students
      coming
      from
      the
     
     
      Maritime
      region,
      they
      will
      not
      have
      to
     
     
      worry
      about
      a
      surplus
      of
      Journalism
     
     
      Degree
      graduates
      within
      the
      next
      year.
      As
     
     
      of
      now,
      it
      looks
      like
      one,
      but
      that
      may
     
     
      change
      in
