I chose to enroll in the Georgetown Journalism program because it’s so versatile—you don’t simply pick a track to focus on, but rather delve into all of them so that you are more experienced and prepared for any job. These days, journalists are more than reporters. It’s important to know how to write, but also how to shoot video and work on social media.
Ideal for working professionals, our program is designed to fit your schedule. We offer options for full- or part-time participation and classes held on weekday evenings, so you can earn your degree at a pace that suits your needs—without interrupting your career.
