Master of Science [M.S] Journalism
- The program is designed to meet the needs of students of varying backgrounds, including those with a strong science or health background who may be new to journalism, as well as journalism majors and working journalists who want to specialize or update their skills. The 40-credit program can be completed by full-time students in three semesters and two summers. It is SUNY’s only journalism master's program.
- Faculty with real-world experience, working in a state-of-the-art $1.3 million newsrooms, will help students build their skills, while proximity to New York City provides access to valuable internships and distinguished visiting lecturers.
- The program also takes advantage of the rich resources in science and health at Stony Brook and its affiliated institutions, Brookhaven National Laboratory and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. But although the program focuses on coverage of science and related fields, the skills learned will serve graduates well no matter what kind of journalism they pursue.
