Meet Medill
The best way to learn about our graduate programs is to interact with our students, faculty and staff. Visit us in Evanston or Chicago to see our students in action. Meet us at a conference or campus near you or watch a recorded information session whenever you like. We'll continue to update this page as more events are added. We hope to see you soon.
Information sessions
Attending an information session or webinar is a great way to learn more about Medill's MSJ program. You will talk with an admissions counselor and learn more about the application process. You may also meet faculty, current students or alums who can answer your questions about how our programs may help you achieve your career goals.
We currently do not have an information session scheduled. We will post dates on this page as they become available.
Conferences, campus visits and events
We often attend conferences, visit college campuses and participate in other events across the country. We hope to see you there.

Interviews
We strongly recommend you schedule an interview before you submit your application. Although an interview is not required as part of the MSJ application, it’s a great way for us to get to know you and for you to learn more about Medill as you apply.
Campus visits
Visiting our Evanston or Chicago campus is one of the best ways to get a feel for our program and community.
Campus visits give you the opportunity to talk to an admissions director, sit in on a class, meet a faculty member and take a tour of our facilities. We strongly encourage you to visit campus to get a distinct feel for what your time at Medill would be like.
