Don't know where you got the idea that there is such a program, Alfie, but
there isn't now and never has been. Nor is there an undergraduate program in
photojournalism at MIT. There is no program in any kind of journalism - per
se - at MIT. In fact, some of the kids on the staff of MIT's excellent
student paper have a T-shirt which reads - The Tech - MIT's Journalism
Department.;-) There is a Program in Writing and Humanistic studies, which
includes a handful of journalism writing courses - science oriented. There
is a graduate program in science writing - of all non-technical types -
starting in the fall. And there is, at the moment, one course in documentary
photography/photojournalism - which I am teaching this semester. But that's
it. Wrong school. Try BU.

Meanwhile, I'd start taking photo courses where you live before you decide
that photography is your life, give up your job, and move to a new city to
get another graduate degree.

Hi LUGers,

I am interested in getting information about how to get into a grad degree
for photojournalism at MIT. I won't be able to attend for a few years but I
already have a degree in English literature and a masters in environmental
health sciences. Odd background but photography is becoming more than a
hobby but a way of life.

The reason why I like MIT is because it's in Boston which fits my nerdy
outlook on life. What are the requirements for getting in? Grading system
and classes?

I dunno much about it but thanks for some info if you can provide it.

Alfie
