You don't need to be enrolled at UMass to take our online courses. Several of our students are scattered all over the world. There are no hurdles to admission, nor are any previous courses required. The Certificate carries 16 undergraduate credits and The single required course is Journal 300. You can start with it if you like. You might get a good background on journalism from Journal 225, Readings in Journalism. But the choice is yours and should be based on the particular interests you bring to the Certificate. You are welcome to take any courses without formally pursuing the Certificate. We're offering 16 courses during Summer 2006, which runs June 5 to July 13 and July 17 to August 23. Summer I (June 5-July 13): JOURNAL 295C - Readings in Science Journalism Summer II (July 17-August 23): JOURNAL 225 - Readings in Journalism We've begun with a variety of courses with an emphasis on practical aspects of our discipline. So far, student feedback has been excellent. All of the Certificate courses are available exclusively online, and taught by veteran professors, journalists, and PR practitioners. These are the same people who teach our courses on campus. We will be teaching courses year round, and Certificate credits may be transferable to a bachelor's degree with a special concentration in journalism. |
