Overview

Each year, a small group of students works toward a joint M.A. degree in French Studies and Journalism from New York University. Through the programme, students can deepen their knowledge of the cultures, histories, and politics of Francophone societies, jump-starting careers in journalism and any number of related fields.

Key facts

On the Journalism side, the focus is intensive preparation in research, reporting, and writing along with professional-level advancement in the use of multimedia techniques and tools. We strongly encourage prospective students to visit the GloJo website.

On the French Studies side of the degree, students are exposed to multiple disciplinary lenses: history, sociology, political science, anthropology, cultural analysis, and more.

They explore the imperial nation and post-colonial situations, welfare and discrimination, memory and forgetting, gender and race, religion and secularism, and other questions that play out in singular ways in the Francophone world.

The degree requires the successful completion of six courses at the IFS, a comprehensive examination in French Studies, and an M.A. project in the form of a professional piece of journalistic work focusing on a French subject.
