Welcome to Graduate Journalism

There is still time to apply for Summer, 2008! Please  contact the Office of Graduate Admissions   for more information.

Medill is the premier graduate program for gaining skills and real-world reporting experiences that will take you to rewarding jobs in the U.S. and abroad. The enduring skills and values of journalism are at the heart of what Medill teaches, and they inform every class. But the graduate journalism curriculum offers much, much more.

After an intensive immersion in journalism basics, you can dig into reporting specializations in public affairs such as business and economics or health and science. Or you may prefer to focus on journalism techniques, such as videography/broadcast, interactive publishing and magazine writing, editing and publishing. You'll report from Chicago-area neighborhoods, work in our downtown Chicago newsroom, or perhaps spend a quarter reporting in our Washington, D.C. newsroom. (You may even choose to spend an extra quarter on a Global media placement.)

Some students choose to participate in a capstone "innovation project," where they partner with media clients to develop new journalistic products, services and applications, complete with a business plan -- all from scratch. Perhaps you're interested in long-form non-fiction writing, or making video/audio documentaries -- you can do that at Medill.
