Joint M.A. Degree in Journalism and European & Mediterranean Studies

The joint M.A. degree is designed to prepare students for careers as professional newspaper, magazine or broadcast journalists with a special background on Europe and the Mediterranean.  The program helps students develop both journalistic skills and expertise in the history, politics and culture of this region. This 42-point program includes: a specialized selection of courses in Journalism totaling 20 points; a sequence of courses (one required, three elective) in European and Mediterranean Studies totaling 20 points; and a 2-point Master's project. Students must be formally admitted to both programs.  For more details about Journalism, please review the Global and Joint Programs website.
