The master’s in Bilingual Journalism is a cutting-edge program that offers professional and academic training for students who want to report about or for Latinx communities in the United States and abroad. Graduates will acquire a robust set of skills in both Spanish and English that will offer a significant competitive edge in any workplace. Applicants to the MA in Bilingual Journalism must speak and write English and Spanish fluently. We will also accept students who can speak and write English and Portuguese. As the program evolves, we will incorporate other languages, including Indigenous languages.
