For students who wish to pursue a professional career in journalism or corporate communications, our Master of Arts in Journalism focuses on multimedia training and experience. This program is for students with limited academic or professional experience in journalism and offers two choices:
 

The Professional Practice Option is for students who wish to focus on quickly obtaining advanced journalistic skills.

The Area of Expertise Option is for students wishing not only to acquire advanced journalistic skills but also to complement them with an area of expertise, such as environmental science and policy.

The online master's degree in journalism entrepreneurship prepares students for professional careers at news outlets, and in digital and social media platforms, corporate communications and the freelance market. It particularly focuses on entrepreneurship and preparing students for today’s media environment, one in which skills in both journalism and business are essential.  

This degree is designed for students with a limited range of experience in journalism. 

The Media Research and Practice PhD program is dedicated to interdisciplinary inquiry into the social, political, economic and cultural dimensions of media, strategic communication, and journalism, both nationally and internationally, and in historical and contemporary contexts. The degree combines the research and teaching emphases of the three participating departments – Advertising, Public Relations and Design (APRD); Journalism (JRNL); and Media Studies (MDST) – and encourages doctoral students to develop research agendas that bridge disciplines and cross between academic research and professional practice.
