If you’re interested in getting your master’s degree in journalism, this is one of the top journalism schools in the country. Their international program is setup so that every student gets an opportunity to do a reporting trip abroad. The multimedia program is top notch with some of the latest in Web development instruction. They meld together the complexities of technology with the foundation of storytelling. Students not only learn the staples of producing meaningful journalism but they actually learn to program as well.
The school is small, only about 50 students make it in each year. So camaraderie builds rich bonds among the class. It’s more like camp as the students work closely with each other over the course of two years.
