A Journalism Degree Enriched with In-Depth Regional Study

Global and Joint Program Studies students enroll in a joint-degree program in one of eight internationally focused master’s programs at NYU: Africana Studies, French Studies, Latin American and Caribbean Studies, Near Eastern Studies, Russian and Slavic Studies, European and Mediterranean Studies, East Asian Studies, or International Relations. As a cohort, they take rigorous reporting and writing courses together at the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute, then they explore their specialized area in depth in their individual programs, culminating in a 7,000- to 10,000-word professional-quality journalistic work.
