Aug. 14, 2006

There is still time to apply for the next round of postgraduate
courses at the Caucasus Media Institute (CMI), a journalism training
center based in Armenia. The application deadlines are September 1
for international applicants or September 8 for those in Armenia.

Classes start on September 15 at the center in Yerevan, taught by
experts from Armenia and abroad. The programs include courses on
journalism, language and style, regional studies, photojournalism,
and other topics.

There are three tracks available: a two-year master’s program in
journalism, a one-year postgraduate course in journalism, and a
one-year postgraduate course in Caucasus Studies – an interdisciplinary
program that is unique to CMI. For the postgraduate courses, classes
take place in the mornings so that journalists can return to their
newsrooms in the afternoons.

The institute says it does not offer financial aid, but it can
work with students to help find assistance. For more information,
including application forms in Armenian and Russian, contact Anna
