Hank Greenspun School of Journalism and Media Studies

The Hank Greenspun School of Journalism and Media Studies offers the master of arts degree, a course of study designed to emphasize methodological, theoretical, and professional exploration. JMS courses help students acquire tools for conducting graduate-level research, producing scholarship, and entering the professional workforce. The curriculum allows students to investigate areas such as advertising, emerging media, film, the internet, media management, print, public relations, and television, and their impacts at social and individual levels. The program aims to develop a deep understanding of the media and to make students experts on journalistic and digital media problems and issues, as well to make them better consumers of media messages, developers of content, and critics of digital and social media. Because each student’s goals are unique, the program is flexible in developing individual program curricula, offering both traditional and creative thesis options, as well as a professional paper and internship options. The objective is to balance the discipline’s varied traditions in theory, history, and research with attention paid to emerging media contexts.
