A Degree of Difference

Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism – the only journalism school in the Ivy League – provides journalists with a unique opportunity to hone and deepen their skills at any point in their careers.

For nearly 100 years, the Journalism School has been preparing journalists in a program that stresses academic rigor, ethics, journalistic inquiry and professional practice. Our mission is to give students tools that will guide them over the long term as journalists. This includes, first and foremost, intensive individual coaching in reporting and writing provided by the nationally renowned journalists on our faculty.

Celebrating our Centennial

Full-time master's degree students who enroll for the fall 2012 term will be part of the Centennial Class at Columbia Journalism School. Not only will you become part of a proud tradition of excellence
stretching back one hundred years, you will also be at the school
during a landmark historic year. Domestic and international students
may be eligible to apply for special Centennial scholarships, and you
will be invited to attend an exciting slate of high-profile events
celebrating the past one hundred years, and the promise of the
century ahead.
