The City University of New York's CUNY Graduate School of Journalism is a public graduate journalism school located in New York City. One of the 24 institutions comprising the City University of New York, or CUNY, the school opened in 2006. It is the only public graduate school of journalism in the northeastern United States.
The CUNY Graduate School of Journalism grants two degrees, the Master of Arts in Journalism and the nation's first Master of Arts in Entrepreneurial Journalism. The school, which requires its MA in Journalism students to complete a summer internship at a news organization in order to graduate, places a heavy emphasis on practical skills and hands-on experience. Its faculty is drawn from current and former journalists at The New York Times, BusinessWeek, The Economist, The Nation, NBC Nightly News, and PBS, among others.
Sarah Bartlett is the Dean of the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism. She succeeded Founding Dean Stephen B. Shepard on Jan. 1, 2014. Bartlett joined CUNY in 2002 as the Bloomberg Chair of Business Journalism at Baruch College. She moved to the Journalism School in 2006, after serving on its original curriculum committee. She created and oversaw both the Urban Reporting and the Business & Economics subject concentrations and helped found the school’s Center for Community and Ethnic Media. Her journalism career has included editorial positions at Fortune, BusinessWeek, and The New York Times and she also served as editor-in-chief of Oxygen Media.
The CUNY Board of Trustees approved the Graduate School of Journalism's creation in May 2004. Proposed by CUNY Chancellor Matthew Goldstein, the school was to focus on teaching reporting skills and news values at a time when other journalism schools were emphasizing education in academic disciplines such as political science and statistics.
