Key Summary
Introduction
As the first master’s degree program in arts journalism at an accredited journalism school, Newhouse’s Goldring arts journalism and communications program pioneered the concept of training journalists to cover arts and culture. A uniquely flexible combination of courses allows you to develop your expertise in areas like architecture, film, popular culture, theater or visual arts, or another area of your choice. You will create multiplatform arts coverage, publish your work as a freelancer and participate in an arts-immersion trip to New York City. (36 credits)
Admissions
Curriculum
Develop unique expertise
Through its core courses, the Goldring program offers specific training in communication about the arts as well as opportunities for cross-disciplinary arts learning. Knowledge of multiple art forms has become increasingly important for arts journalists and makes you a more valuable asset in the competitive environment of today's digital newsrooms.
Craft your own curriculum
Working closely with two advisers, the program director and a faculty member specializing in a key area of arts and culture, you identify your educational goals and shape your own unique curriculum of journalism and arts courses.
Goldring's dedicated career development coordinator works closely with the Newhouse Career Development Center to help you make important career connections that lead to employment. You will also benefit from the mentoring and expertise of members of the Goldring Arts Journalism Advisory Board, as well as the Newhouse School's extensive network of successful alumni working in the media field.
Scholarships and Funding
Various scholarships, fellowships and instructional associate positions are awarded to incoming Newhouse students to help offset the cost of attendance. Since Newhouse does have limited funding to offer, the majority of these awards are partial and only applicable for the academic year (excluding the summer sessions). It is also a competitive process, and all awards are merit-based.
