CAMP CAROLINA
July 7 - August 15, 2008

Camp Carolina is a six-week, intensive skills workshop designed to prepare incoming journalism and mass communications graduate students for advanced, graduate-level courses. The workshop is also designed to provide concentrated study for those individuals who hold a baccalaureate degree in another field and do not wish to pursue a graduate degree but seek to enhance their field of study with journalism and mass communications skills.

When you enter the job market, you will be competing for jobs against undergraduate degree recipients who have the vital skills employers are seeking. If you become a Camp Carolina student you will have a significant head start on acquiring those skills yourself.

We call it "Camp Carolina" because it provides the kind of basic training that every mass communications practitioner will need now and in years to come. But it's not exactly boot camp. You'll be working with the latest Macintosh computers and telecommunications equipment in a professional setting. We'll even get together for a party or two!

There's a special bond that develops among Camp Carolina participants. That same bond develops between the "Campers" and their instructors because the students accomplish so much in so little time.
