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). The sample should reflect what you consider to be your best writing in college.
  2. A statement of 250 words on your main source of news and why.
  3. The name and contact information (telephone number and e-mail) of an Emory faculty member who has agreed to serve as a reference. Journalism Program faculty members cannot serve in this role. All faculty references will be contacted.
   4. A copy of the Emory transcript from the Online Pathway to University Students (OPUS).
  5. 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.
