The MS program in science and technology journalism (STJR) at Texas A&M University is a broad-based science communication program designed to prepare students mainly for careers as writers and editors specializing in the communication of science, technology, and medicine. It also can serve as a background for related careers and as preparation for doctoral study.
Philosophy: The program seeks to prepare graduates solidly grounded in both science journalism and science. Thus, each student completes graduate courses in both realms. The program is small and highly individualized, with each student choosing courses geared to his or her interests and goals.
Courses: All students in the program take the core courses Issues in Science and Technology Journalism, Reporting Science and Technology, Research Methods in Science and Technology Journalism, and Science Editing. They also take science communication electives and choose from a wide range of science courses throughout the university. In addition, they can take courses in related realms, such as web design, photography, creative nonfiction, and history of science.
