What does the Journalism Schools writing test entail?
The Writing Test is only required for M.S. applicants. All M.S. applicants are required to take the Journalism School writing test. Information on the test, procedures, testing sites, etc. will be sent to all applicants by e-mail once their applications have been received. The writing test is a 90-minute computer exercise that will examine your problem solving and critical thinking skills. The test will give the admissions committee a good picture of your reporting and writing skills as well as your current events and historical facts knowledge. The test is short answer and open ended. We do not have a sample test online. Please see the Applicant Questions Section for more details.
