Fall 2009 Course List
This fall, the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism will team up with Baruch College’s Department of Journalism and Division of Continuing and Professional Studies to offer a comprehensive lineup of media courses to working journalists and to the public.
The J-School’s sessions, aimed primarily at journalists looking to advance their professional skills, will all be held in the School’s state-of-the-art classrooms at 219 W. 40th St. in New York City, and they’ll be led by many of the same expert instructors who teach its graduate students.
Registration links for J-School courses will soon be available through this web site. You can currently register online through Baruch’s Continuing and Professional Studies site, which has a complete listing of all CUNY J-School and Baruch College journalism offerings for the fall.
You can also send a check or money order for the course fee to the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism, 219 W. 40th St., New York, NY, 10018. Please write the course name, date, and time on the face of the check.
