In addition to Business and Economic Reporting, NYU offers programs in Science and Environmental Reporting and Cultural Reporting and Criticism. Of the 13 courses in the Business and Economic Reporting curriculum , five cover substantive topics of business and economics. They provide students with the strong foundation of knowledge required for outstanding coverage of complex business news. Students take four courses at the Stern School of Business, and receive instruction in financial accounting and world markets. The required journalism courses focus on the reporting and writing of news stories and long, interpretive articles.
Students write about business issues and industries vital to the economy.
All students take a broadcasting course, with the opportunity to use an elective to gain more advanced training in the broadcasting medium. Specialization in web-based business journalism is also available for interested students. NYU's campus in Greenwich Village is located between Wall Street and midtown Manhattan, providing students access to the world's greatest concentration of financial institutions, Fortune 500 corporations and the major media that cover them. Business and Economic Reporting enrolls only about 12 students each fall. Part-time study is also possible, although students must have flexible work schedules to accommodate classes and the time required for reporting.
