The State Accreditation Commission of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine granted a license to the Ukrainian Catholic University to open a two-year master’s program in journalism.
The master’s program in journalism at UCU will be experimental – graduates with bachelor’s degrees in humanities and social and economic studies will be accepted into the program.
In western Ukraine four higher education institutions offer journalism as a specialty: three bachelor’s programs and only one master’s program. Furthermore, only students with an education in journalism can apply for the master’s program.
The goal of the master’s program in journalism of UCU is to establish in western Ukraine a European model for a master’s program in journalism as a faculty for students with a background education in humanities and social and economic studies.
