PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
Our Master of Media in Journalism & Communication (MMJC) degree will allow you to move seamlessly between journalism, communications and other media careers. The MMJC is different from other programs:
- a one-year program, two terms on-campus plus one term offsite, completing an internship and capstone project
- an opportunity to do an internship with media organizations you would otherwise not have access to
- a chance to do a capstone project that could be the crown jewel in your portfolio
- a master’s degree that will open more doors for your career than a diploma, certificate or undergraduate degree
- a chance to learn the skills necessary for media, journalism and communications
- gain the flexibility to move between career paths
- learn to do ALL kinds of jobs more effectively
- understand the underlying principles of media production; the MMJC is not just a ‘how to’ program
- the opportunity to work with non-profits, NGOs, and other civil society groups during your internship and in coursework
- acquire the agility to find new ways of telling stories as they emerge in a rapidly changing landscape
