    The Georgian Institute of Public Affairs (GIPA) is pleased to announce
    scholarships for Armenian students to study journalism and multimedia
    at the Caucasus School of Journalism and Media Management (CSJMM)
    located in Tbilisi, Georgia.

    The program includes five semesters of study from October 2013 to
    May 2015. The students will spend their first and fifth semesters
    in Yerevan and their second, third and fourth semesters in Tbilisi
    (January-December 2014). The core program, thesis defense and final
    project, and graduation will take place in Tbilisi.

    While studying in Georgia, Armenian students will receive monthly
    stipends for housing and food expenses. Each student will also receive
    funding for an internship with a media organization abroad. All tuition
    costs are covered by the program funded by the U.S. Embassy in Armenia.

    This master program is taught in English and is targeted for
    international audience. The mission of this program is to teach
    students the principles and techniques of journalism. This includes the
    gathering of information via interviewing and documents; the analysis
    of this information and the use of this information to impartially
    and accurately tell stories in words, graphics, photographs, audio
    and video. These stories should serve the public and promote social
    justice.

    The Program teaches students to simplify complex matters for a general
    audience and to investigate wrongdoing; how to provide a public forum,
    via social media and other interactive venues, so that the public
    feels empowered to take action in its best interests. In addition,
    the program provides knowledge on how to analyze original research and
    write a research paper. Teaching students research includes helping
    them develop their analytical, critical and creative thinking skills.

    The program gives students opportunity to specialize in media
    management or multi-media journalism.

    CSJMM seeks to accomplish this mission by providing a practice-based
    education taught by international and Georgian faculty in a
    state-of-art multimedia lab. Students of the CSJMM are main
    beneficiaries of the Multimedia Education Center (MEC), which is
    an innovative education center and provides a multipurpose learning
    environment for students and recent graduates of journalism programs.

    CSJMM master programs are offered in partnership with The University
    of South Carolina's School of Journalism and Mass Communications.

    Under the scope of this partnership, professors from the United States
    give lectures at CSJMM.

    Deadline for applications is September 30, 2013 at 16:00.
