Applications and admissions to the program are now open again! The online Graduate School application is now available, and applicants may also send their departmental applications at any time.

We will work on a rolling admissions basis. Once we receive both applications, the Graduate Faculty will immediately review your application and notify you of a decision within four to six weeks. Application information is available here.

The Master of Arts in Health Journalism program has proposed a name change from the Master of Arts in Health Journalism to the Master of Arts in Health Journalism and Communication, effective for fall 2008. The name change and some curriculum revisions have completed the review by The Graduate School and have been unanimously approved.

The Graduate School will now make a recommendation to the Board of Regents, who will consider the proposed changes in July. Please note that you must apply to the Health Journalism program at this time, for entry in fall 2008. If the Board of Regents does not approve the name change to Health Journalism and Communication and the curriculum revisions, you will be given the opportunity to request a refund of your application for admission fee.
