Summer Journalism @ NYU

Session 2: Monday, July 6 – Friday, August 14, 2020

A: High school sophomores and juniors are eligible to apply to precollege classes. Occasionally, advanced students can enroll in an undergraduate course with permission. Email journalism.summer@nyu.edu to learn more.

Current high school seniors who will graduate prior to the start of a session will apply to courses through Summer in NYC. Click here for more details and scroll down to the “College” section of this page for information that applies to you.

A: Yes! NYU Precollege has great opportunities for international students. Before applying, be sure to read through the requirements for international students. Most Journalism courses are writing intensive, so your written English should be very strong. Please note that because all summer 2020 classes are being taught online, international students are now welcome to apply up until the final deadline, which is the same as for domestic students. All students, both domestic and international, will be participating remotely.

A: Instructions on how to apply to precollege courses are here and a direct link to apply online is here for precollege and here for undergraduates.

A: All of our precollege courses count for four college credits; tuition and fees for a four-credit class is $6,930. NYU Precollege students who are enrolled in at least one credit-bearing course have the opportunity to participate in a five-week noncredit college writing workshop taught by NYU’s distinguished writing experts. Click here for full information on tuition and fees and click here for more details about the college writing workshop, including designated science sections of the course.

A: All of our courses available to precollege students are four college credits; you can take up to two courses per session. Click here for more details.

A: Only a very limited number of scholarships are available to academically qualified students who demonstrate a high level of financial need. International students are not eligible for scholarships. More information can be found here. The scholarship deadline is April 1.

A: Because all courses will be taught exclusively online in summer 2020, housing will not be necessary or available. Information about living on campus, for when circumstances return to normal, can be found here.
