Could I do this with a degree in Journalism?

Hey all, I'm about to go to school for my first year in about 6 months, after leaving the Military. I was wondering, If i could do this program with a Bachelor's in Journalism, and how hard it would be. Thank you!
Hello, and thank you for your question!
You can certainly do the program with a degree in journalism. To apply for the Assistant Language Teacher (ALT) position you only need to have a bachelor's degree, it doesn't matter what the degree is in.
Although many participants do have degrees in English or Japan-related studies, there are also many participants with degrees in journalism, engineering, the sciences, history; pretty much everything!
