Master of Science in Journalism

Launch your career in the city where American journalism was born

Tell stories that matter. With a graduate degree in Journalism from Boston University, you’ll join the ranks of students, alumni and faculty that make it the #4 school for journalism in the country.

  • Instead of choosing one focus, you’ll select courses in several areas of journalism, with a special focus on digital and online- key components of modern newsrooms.
  • Complement your courses and get practice by working on stories for the Daily Free Press or BUTV10.
  • You’ll be ready to take on the world of professional journalism as soon as you get your diploma.

When it comes time for your job and internship search, you’ll find that there are few better places to be than the urban news hotspot that is Boston– the nation’s 7th largest media market. Access all our city –and school—has to offer. Explore the BU Journalism M.S. program.

“The best parts about BU’s graduate journalism program were the connections I made both with other students and with my professors. Now, those other students are colleagues, and my professors are my friends and mentors. They have helped me get jobs, and prepped me for a life in journalism. I would not be where I am today in my career without BU’s skills-based and rigorous but effective programs.”
