Each track requires candidates to enroll in prerequisite journalism courses ("core" classes) and track-specific skills classes. Students, however, must also specialize in electives outside the school of journalism, and each student must complete an advisor-approved internship before graduating. [3] Students may also build their own coursework through the "Carr Van Anda" Program. [4]
The school offers Master's of Science programs in Journalism and a PhD in Mass Communication. Many students work toward their PhD in mass communication with an emphasis in either Media Studies or Journalism. Scripps students often publish their work in academic journals or present papers at academic conferences, such as the annual convention of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication. In August 2014, seven graduate students are scheduled to present 11 papers at the AEJMC annual convention.
