  一种是职业性型教育。必修课包括媒介理论,大众传播研究方法是否必修因校而异。根据各校专业重点,会有一些与新闻和传播实践有关的理论课程,比如,新闻工作的哲学和原则,媒介法与媒介政策,新闻实践与媒介新技术等。选修课则根据个人的方向与指导老师一起确定。这些方向可能包括:Journalism, advertising, publish relations, electronic media, media management. 这个大方向的硕士毕业生毕业时可以选择做硕士论文。多数选择综合考试加professional project. 诸如Columbia University, Northwestern University, University of Missouri, Syracuse University, University of California at Berkley 和其他一些大学培养的多数都是这样的硕士研究生。毕业后一般去媒体或者实业界工作。

  另外一种是研究型教育。必修课包括媒介理论,大众传播研究方法,以及其它一些与媒介有关的理论课,例如舆论、宣传与媒介,宪法第一修正案,媒介伦理等。这些课程职业方向的研究生也经常选修。选修课则根据个人的方向与指导老师以前确定。这些方向可能包括:Journalism, advertising, publish relations, electronic media, media management. 各校所设的研究方向有所不同。不同的研究方向,既可以学习与该方向有关的实践课程,了解实践领域的状况为研究积累知识,也可以进一步学习研究方法和有关理论。这部分硕士研究生毕业后可能继续在新闻与传播学领域或者其它领域念博士。毕业时他们一般做硕士论文。

  哥伦比亚大学他的传媒学校没有像其他学校那样开设很多的学科,他学科的设置主要集中在新闻学传播领域。

  申请条件:

  由于M.A Program 和 M.S Program 教学的侧重点不同所以他们在录取当中的要求也是略有不同。M.A在录取的时候侧重强调的是申请人必须有strong background in liberal arts, business, law and several other disciplines。并且在提交申请以后还要参加由他们本校组织的Writing Test 的考试,这个考试的难度类似纽约时报社评性的评论。而M.S Program 则需要申请人提供Writing Sample。留学专家指出,无论你申请的是哪个学位,该校对申请人的硬件条件要求也是非常的高,IBT要达到114,才有资格申请。

  纽约大学主要的研究领域是在传播新闻学方面,尤其是采访技巧,新闻播报等实用性方面。纽约大学与哥伦比亚大学相比更偏向于商业新闻报导这一领域,专业设置多以Business and Economic Reporting为主,并且在这一领域有很强的权威性。

  申请条件:

  申请人除了提供基本的申请材料,包括PS(Cultural Reporting and Criticism 的申请者用CRC essay代替PS)、推荐信(三封)外,还需提供三份writing sample,同时鼓励申请者提供图像或视频剪辑。NYU的竞争是非常激烈的,建议申请者有一定的工作或实习经验,虽然学校在工作经验上没有硬性的要求,但事实上,NYU更倾向于录取有丰富经历的申请者。在硬件条件方面,NYU的最低要求是TOEFL 100分以上(但如果刚达到100分,相信竞争力是不够的),GRE的verbal部分600分以上。

  申请条件:

  申请人需至少提供3个作品,其中的两个必须是Writing sample,另外的一个可以是录像带、Photo Essay等。申请人的工作经验虽然校方网站并没有说是必须的,但是同时学校也说由于每年都有大量的申请者,所以竞争很激烈。工作经历和专业经验,对录取来说是一个非常重要的考核点。而且对语言方面的要求也比较高,TOFEL IBT通常要达到110以上,GRE达到1300以上,这样的成绩才会比较有竞争力。

  申请条件:

  UM -Columbia是美国最早成立传媒学院的大学,是传媒专业的老牌牛校,非常注重学术研究。学校的研究生录取最低要求并不高,根据网站要求,GPA3.0,TOEFL IBT 100分,GRE 1000以上即可申请,但是,该校实际的竞争是非常激烈的。传媒专业可以提供Masters、doctorate学位,而且PHD学位的毕业率很高,达到了91%, 远远超过了传播学PHD的平均毕业率。但是PHD只录取Master学生,本科毕业的不能直接申请。研究生学习非本专业的,需要有选修或学过相关核心课程,所以对想申请PHD的学生来说,有一定难度。专家提醒,申请传媒专业最好能够有相关工作背景,并且学校要求提供Writing Sample。
