I had another thought that I want to float by you. I was thinking that maybe the upper level Journalism (News Writing JOU-352) class might suffice for my English requirements but I'd have to take the lower level Intro News Writing first, however on the school's website for the upper class it says "Incoming students are expected to be familiar with the reporting terminology and procedures covered in an introductory journalism course such as JOU-110 Introduction to News Reporting." I'm thinking I might just find out what book they use for the Intro course & use that to fill in the gaps in knowledge for the upper level class.

If you are able to use that course (check with an adviser) then here's the best part of Intro to News Reporting. It's also a TECEP exam, so they have a study guide on what to know and suggested materials to take the course (it gives a few different books in the study guide):
