Most journalists must wait for years for a chance to report from the nation’s capital, but as a student at Maryland, you’ll get to do it every day. Hone your skills at one of the nation’s premier journalism programs with a top-notch faculty and a deep respect for the fundamentals of journalism.

All students who pursue a degree at the College gain a strong foundation in reporting and news writing. You’ll take your education from the basics of reporting the who, what, where and when to the exploration of finding sources and working a beat, to learning the concepts of computer-assisted reporting.

The College draws on the resources and rich talent pool of the Washington-Baltimore area to give students a practical and theory-based education. You won’t simply learn how to find public records, you’ll go out and do it. Classes focus on topics ranging from reporting to feature writing, graphics to newsroom management. The school’s  location helps give students experience in the field through an emphasis on obtaining a professional internship.

Students are able to take classes with newspaper greats like Pulitzer Prize winners David Broder, Ira Chinoy, Jon Franklin and Haynes Johnson as well as former Philadelphia Inquirer editor Gene Roberts. Professional journalists come in every semester as adjunct professors, giving students a first-hand knowledge of what’s happening in the field.

And no skills course has more than 18 students, ensuring you’ll get one-on-one attention from some of the top journalists in the country.
