Extra! Extra! Breaking news: the new Master of Journalism program offered jointly from the University of King’s College and Dalhousie University has now been officially approved by the Maritime Provinces Higher Education Commission (MPHEC).

This MPHEC approval officially completes the developmental stage of this 10-month program, which can now begin with its first cohort of graduate students in June.
