Overview

About the programme

The Journalism master's from Columbia University is designed for journalists who have three to 15 years of professional journalism experience. We are looking for intellectually curious students with demonstrable reporting experience and strong writing.

Applicants should be competent at the essential journalistic skills: research, interviewing and storytelling. Applicants do not need to have a background in the concentration to which they apply. We accept journalists who want to go deeper in a subject they already cover and those who want to shift focus to a new area. On rare occasion, we admit students with fewer than three years of experience, but only when they a have record of exceptional work.
