It's that time when your students search for summer programs that tap into their interests and begin the next chapter in their lives of aligning them with their future career goals.
At Boston University Summer Journalism Academy (BUSJ), students not only have an opportunity to have award-winning working journalists, they also have the chance to experience Boston University and the city of Boston.
For 15 years, Boston University College of Communication has offered this program to teach high school students in-person and virtually core skills in news reporting, interviewing, and writing, focusing on hands-on experience in and around Boston and their home communities.
Our photojournalism program taught by former Boston Globe photographer, Steve Haines, prepares students, like Taylor Coester (a BUSJ alum and now a BU student), to work alongside journalists in capturing the best photo for their stories. Parents and students enjoy hearing that no third-party vendors are involved, and they can experience an authentic pre-college experience at a college on their list.
For students living on-campus, they have the opportunity to:
- Meet with a Boston University's representative to discuss the college admissions process
- Explore what it's like living in a residence hall and studying in a university environment
- Experience Boston museums, historical sites, and neighborhoods during their free time
Students decide if they would like to attend our program in-person or virtually. Our three-week on-campus session starts June 26. Our two-week virtual sessions begin June 19, July 3, and July 17.
If you have a student who wants a real college experience this summer and wants to pursue a communication degree, encourage them to learn more by visiting www.summerjournalism.org and applying soon, as limited seats are available for our in-person and virtual sessions.
