Overview
The graduate program in the Department of Journalism offers a three-semester course of study leading to the Master of Arts degree.
When applying, students select and apply to a specific area of study:
NYU journalism graduate students also compete for some of the most challenging paid and unpaid internships in the business. All programs feature an Arts and Sciences emphasis, basic and advanced skills training, lectures and seminars foundational to the excellent practice of journalism, and thorough exposure to the New York world. Students also have the opportunity to avail themselves of numerous pre-professional and professional publishing opportunities.
The graduate program also features an honors track in longform narrative nonfiction, called Portfolio, in which select students can enroll for the second and third semesters. That admissions process takes place during the first semester at NYU.
