The Journalism admission committee has a rolling admission policy, meaning the committee will consider completed applications throughout the year. For students who completed their undergraduate education outside the United States and who are not native speakers of English, a TOEFL score of 590 (paper-based); 243 (computer-based) or 96 (internet-based — with all sections scores of 22 or higher) is also required along with an oral interview with two members of the program’s faculty.
