Are you a skilled programmer or Web developer? Are you interested in applying your talents to the challenge of creating a better-informed society? Do you want to learn how to find, analyze and present socially relevant information that engages media audiences? Do you see possibilities for applying technology as a way to connect people and information on the Web or new delivery platforms?
If your answers are "yes," consider applying to Medill at Northwestern University for a master’s degree in journalism. You can earn your degree in just a year. You will learn new skills that will open doors to new opportunities that might help build a better democracy. And a new program at Medill offers you a chance to be considered for a fully funded scholarship.
Applicants with experience or academic degrees in computer programming or related fields are eligible to apply. To be considered for the scholarship, applicants must be admitted to Medill’s graduate journalism program. Students who are awarded the scholarships will complete the same academic program as other MSJ students, and participate in a special New Media capstone project that makes use of their programming skills.
Applications from candidates for these new scholarships are being accepted now, for admission to start in June or September, 2008 or January, 2009.
