Become an educated future leader of the new global economy in a world that increasingly requires the highest level of intercultural competence.
About the Partnership
The School of Journalism allows Journalism graduate students to count up to 9 units offered by any of the School of International Languages, Literatures, & Cultures (SILLC) master's programs—Classics, East Asian Studies, French, German Studies, Russian and Slavic Studies.
Both schools will admit a specific and limited selection of graduate students previously selected by the respective Graduate Selection committees. The GRE and any other admission test requirement will be waived. Each school will have a final decision on the maximum number of students admitted to its programs per academic year.
Graduate students taking courses as part of this partnership in the SILLC disciplines or the School of Journalism will only pay tuition and program fees in their home M.A. program. However, they will be required to pay any course-related lab or equipment fees in the partner school when applicable.
