UC-Berkeley invites international journalists

Applications are being accepted through March 14 for a unique program providing mid-career journalists from outside the U.S. with an opportunity to pursue advanced professional training and academic study at the Graduate School of Journalism at the University of California at Berkeley.

In the non-degree Visiting Scholar program, participants can audit courses offered at the journalism school and in other disciplines, drawing upon the extensive resources and community life of a major research university. Disclosure: I am the director of the program.

Journalists accepted to the program can participate for either the entire 2011-2012 academic year or for a single semester of their choice. Information about the program, including fees and application requirements, is here. The deadline for applications is March 14.
