Reporting New York students learn to cover news in any of our nation’s great urban centers by focusing on the one that is nation’s largest, greatest and most complex.
Students will take a series of specialized research, reporting and writing courses and seminars that take their cues from urban affairs and city life. Each semester they will have the opportunity to enroll in at least one offering from another department or school in the university in order to engage more deeply with relevant subject matter such as municipal government, budgeting, city planning, ethnic and racial diversity, and municipal courts.
An internship with a city publication or broadcast outlet is recommended between the second and third semesters of study.
Prospective students should feel free to contact the director, Professor William Serrin.
