Aspiring journalists in Armenia now have another option for advanced
study, after the recent launch of a journalism master’s program at
Brusov University in Yerevan.
Brusov is also known as the Yerevan State Linguistic University. The
Dutch NGO Press Now helped the new program along with advice and
financial support.
According to a news release from Press Now, this is the university’s
first master’s program. The goal of the program is to produce quality
journalists who can make independent, fair news coverage more common
in the country.
This is Armenia’s second master’s program in journalism. Yerevan
State University also offers a program supported by the International
Center for Journalists (ICFJ) and the U.S. Agency for International
Development (USAID).
For more information about the program at Brusov, contact the school’s
