Program Description:

King’s alumni are in almost every newsroom in Canada. We offer a nationally recognized, practical education in journalism and nonfiction book writing through four distinct programs:

• Our four-year Bachelor of Journalism Honours offers research and storytelling skills within a broad undergraduate education
• The postgraduate Bachelor of Journalism delivers intensive preparation for work in multiplatform newsrooms
• The Master of Journalism specializes in data and investigative techniques. Students learn how to acquire and interpret data, and write longform evidence-based features as a one- or two-year program of study
• The Master of Fine Arts in Creative Nonfictionis for aspiring nonfiction authors looking for a limited residency environment. Faculty and mentors help students develop their writing, and prepare a book proposal and manuscript

Admissions Criteria:

Applicants must have an average grade of B or better. The BJ, two-year MJ and MFA require an undergraduate degree in any discipline. The one-year MJ requires a journalism degree or deep reporting experience. A statement of your interest in journalism and/or your intent in the program is required. Evidence of interest is encouraged. References are required for graduate programs.
