Канададағы Карлетон университетінің журналистика мектебі

Department at Carleton University
The School of Journalism and Communication is a department within the Faculty of Public Affairs at Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It is the oldest four year journalism program in Canada. The journalism program is recognized as one of North America's most well respected centres for the study of journalism.

The School of Journalism and Communication is part of the Faculty of Public Affairs and has a distinct institutional status within the university, on account of its well established history, higher admission requirements and distinct degree programs.

The School of Journalism offers a four year Bachelor of Journalism Honours program. Graduates of the undergraduate program receive an honours Bachelor of Journalism (BJ) degree. In 2018, a Bachelor of Media Production and design degree was added to the program offerings.

From 2006 to 2011, the School of Journalism and Communication ran a teaching partnership and student internship exchange program called the Rwanda Initiative. The program sought to address the shortage of journalism educators in Rwanda and improve journalism standards through a teaching exchange between the Carleton University School of Journalism and Communication and the National University of Rwanda in Butare. The project involved curriculum development for the university programs and media training workshops for working journalists in Rwanda presented by faculty from both universities. The Rwanda Initiative also facilitated travel for Rwandan journalists to study at Carleton or take up internships with Canadian news organizations. The program was suspended in 2011 due to a lack of funding when a partnership agreement with the U. S. Government lapsed. The annual cost of the program was stated at $240,000 CAD. The endeavor has designated funding, an emerging reporter bursary and a visiting research fellowship and works in service of "projects that serve a public interest and/or bolster the study of journalism in society."
