[A quick note to remind any experienced journalists looking to earn a Master's degree that Columbia J-school's new nine-month M.A. program (which allows you to specialize in business, arts, politics or science reporting) is a great option. In addition to in-depth specialization, you can also learn the digital skills that are in such demand in newsrooms today (an example is this webcast). This program is in addition to our more traditional M.S. and Ph.D. programs. Details at http://www.journalism.columbia.edu/admissions .... Questions to admissions@jrn.columbia.edu ]
