Master of Arts in Journalism/French Studies

New York University

In NYU Journalism’s Global & Joint Program Studies, students gain rigorous journalistic training alongside in-depth contextual study of a specific region or culture in a joint MA degree with one of eight internationally focused master’s programs. With just 15 students per cohort and exposure and training in myriad media platforms, Global and Joint Program Studies students graduate with a fluency in journalistic methods and an exceptionally rich base of knowledge in a region or culture.For a real-time sense of the GloJo experience, follow us on Twitter and on Facebook, where we regularly post links to our faculty’s and students’ news, bylines, and achievements, as well as photographic reports of our gatherings, celebrations, and student experiences in the field. Join us for a fall or spring GloJo event.A select group of students each year have the opportunity to work toward a joint M.A. degree in Journalism along side Africana Studies, French Studies, Latin American and Caribbean Studies, Near Eastern Studies, Russian and Slavic Studies, European and Mediterranean Studies, East Asian Studies or International Relations.By design, GloJo crosses disciplines and media platforms and just as intentionally remains small. It is expressly for students with strong international or transnational interests, background in specific area studies, and, as appropriate, the needed language preparation. The program provides the opportunity to deepen knowledge of each respective region, culture, or discipline as it opens opportunity for careers in journalism and any number of related fields. On the Journalism side, the focus is intensive preparation in research, reporting, and writing in all journalistic genres along with professional-level advancement in the use of multimedia techniques and tools.
