The International Programs Office (76 Gannett) at the Missouri School of Journalism was created in 1994 to manage the diverse array of international activity taking place within the school. On these pages, you'll find information about the school's study abroad program for undergraduate students; its outreach programs around the world, all of them involving the school's faculty and students; and information about sponsored students and visiting professionals programs. Our programs seek to meet the following goals:

  • to provide students and faculty with international journalism experience;
  • to train and develop journalists from different countries;
  • to strengthen journalism education around the world; and
  • to facilitate research on international media.

Studying abroad is one of the most amazing and challenging experiences your higher education can offer. Students have the opportunity to deal with various cultures first-hand, travel to different parts of the world, and learn the history and culture of other people in their cities and towns.

The Missouri School of Journalism offers an increasing number of options for students who wish to study abroad. Missouri School of Journalism undergraduate students can earn journalism elective credit while spending a semester abroad. In practical terms, this means that students need not prolong their college experience to study abroad.

Links to each of our partners can be found on the right-hand side of this page. With the exception of the London program, study abroad programs are bi-lateral; for each Missouri student who attends courses at partner institutions, Missouri hosts a student from that university. These arrangements increase the likelihood that students unable to study abroad will interact with people from around the globe.

Fritz Cropp directs the international programs office at the Missouri School of Journalism, where he also is an assistant professor of advertising. Cropp has taught international workshops in Mongolia, China, Korea and elsewhere.

Student Feedback:


"The greatest thing about studying at the Journalism School is that here you learn journalism first-hand; your reports and articles are published and broadcast in affiliated local media. So, by the time you graduate from the school you will have good experience in your field, which can give you a headstart in your future career as a professional journalist. The second great thing is that the School of Journalism is a truly international school. Here you can meet students from all over the world and not just the USA. This diversity provides a unique opportunity to look at things from many perspectives and helps you make friends with people from all over the world. The third great thing is that our school holds regular meetings with experienced and well-known journalists, many of whom are the alumni of J-School themselves. These people share with us their unique experience in the field, thus enriching our knowledge with some practical tips." Dilmurad Gulamov, Uzbekistan
