Students learn to produce content from day one using text, photo, video, audio, social and immersive media, and graduate with portfolios of (often award-winning) work distributed by media partners across the country.

Students can explore journalism, strategic communications, media leadership, innovation, entrepreneurship and interdisciplinary research, among other disciplines. Choose from more than a dozen capstone experiences in Phoenix, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C.

All applicants are considered for Cronkite fellowships, assistantships and scholarships. December 1 is the priority deadline for funding.

Students can spend semesters working in Cronkite News, our sports bureau or our strategic communications agencies in Phoenix, Washington and Los Angeles, or travel internationally on Study Abroad experiences just for Cronkite Students!
