Would you pay nearly $150,000 for a degree that can get you a job with a median yearly salary of less than $40,000 in an industry that is currently experiencing a high degree of layoffs? If so, Columbia University’s School of Journalism will gladly sign you up for its new Master of Science in Data Journalism program.
The school charges $106,000 for the tuition and other fees related to the degree and $41,232 for living expenses. The notion is drawing mockery from established journalists like Chicago Tribune editor Charlie J. Johnson, who tweeted that “A $100,000 master’s degree in journalism is a stupid thing.”
This program joins the three existing master’s degrees in Columbia’s journalism department, and it comes at a much higher price tag; the general Master of Arts costs around $55,000, while the Master of Science and the Master of Science in Journalism and Computer Science will set you back just over $60,000. The school says the higher price tag is largely driven by the extra semester devoted to learning computational data and reporting fundamentals.
