Welcome to the School of Journalism at NU

For those who are naturally curious about our world, a career in journalism offers rich personal rewards and an opportunity to make a difference in modern society. Students at Northeastern's School of Journalism don't have to wait until after graduation to begin developing their skills as reporters and writers.

The school combines a quality academic education with practical experience. We offer an undergraduate program that prepares students for careers in print, broadcast, online journalism and public relations. Our graduate program offers a professional concentration, research concentration and a new concentration in journalism and public policy in partnership with the new School of Social Science, Urban Affairs and Public Policy.

The School of Journalism, in conjunction with the New England First Amendment Coalition, has established the New England First Amendment Center, housed within the School. The Center will support and publicize access to public records and meetings for citizens and journalists. The Center maintains a Hotline and Website devoted to First Amendment issues.

Our Cooperative Education program, available to both undergraduate and graduate students, gives members of our community job experience at news organizations and media-related businesses. Enterprising students will begin their job searches with real work experience.
