How to Apply

Overview

Journalism at Emory is a highly selective, specialized program designed to make the most of providing its students with individualized instruction, internship and career opportunities and use of a state-of-the-art computer classroom. For these reasons, the Program limits enrollment to 10-15 new students each semester.

Twice yearly, the Program accepts applications from students by an announced deadline. There is no application form. But applications must include all of the following:

1. A writing sample of no more than three pages (or no more than three pages from a longer paper).
   
   
2. A statement of 100 words or less discussing how journalism fits into your Emory studies and career plans.
   
   
3. A statement of 100 words or less on the qualities that would make you an outstanding student journalist.
   
   
4. The name and contact information of an Emory faculty member who has agreed to serve as a reference.
   
   
5. A copy of the Emory transcript from the Online Pathway to University Students (OPUS).
   
   
6. The student's campus post office box, telephone number and e-mail address.

Applicants without student or professional journalism experience will not be at a disadvantage.
