Science Journalism / Writing / Communication Master's Programs 2025 Guide

I did an MS in Science Journalism, and I did a lot of research into them, so here is an updated basic guide. If you're interested, check them out and put their application dates on your calendar. Apply to multiple so you can play their scholarships against each other. That's very important--it could mean the difference between a lifetime of intense financial pressure under building compound interest, and being wealthy enough to own a house! Just for a few emails of negotiations!

Green=FREE! Free ≠ easy or standardless! In fact, free programs can be even harder to get into!

Science Communication MS *NEW!* Location: Hochschule Ansbach in Germany (All classes in English) Price: Tuition-Free! Even for International students! Length: 3 semesters

Science Writing Master's *BEST IMO!* Location: MIT in Cambridge (near Boston) Price: They PAY YOU to go! I've heard the average student profits $40k by going! (Which, of course, will go to living expenses for the year.) Length: 2 semesters (Full disclosure: I didn't go here, but you could say I'm biased in favor of MIT because they're publishing my book. That said, I already believed this was the best program when I saw they pay you to go. Also, MIT is a pretty respectable institution.)

Science Communication Master's Location: UCSC in California Price: $15k for CA residents, $30k for out-of-state. Might be worth living in CA for a year or establishing residence some other way for the discount. (More details) Length: 3 quarters (similar to 2 semesters, roughly a school year)

Science Journalism Master Classes (non-credit) Location: Remote online Price: Free! Thanks to the Kavli Foundation Length: Flexible Note: This one is without any sort of application process, so yes you can do it without experience or quitting your job or moving! The rest are full-time, selective, more traditional mostly in-person programs.

Science Writing MA Location: Remote online via Johns Hopkins University Price: They won't say Length: 16-36 months

Science, Health, and Environmental Reporting Location: NYU in New York Price: They won't say, but I think something like $50k-$100k Length: 3 semesters

Science Journalism MS Location: Boston University Price: $65k Length: 1 Year (Doesn't matter, it doesn't exist anymore. This is the one I attended.) More that I haven't looked into! NOTE: All of these have scholarship options so their prices may actually differ. That's why you should apply to more than one. However I really appreciate that some are free for all students that get in, so you don't have to worry.

Okay so we all know that the animation makes the clones look older than twenty something, but can we take a moment to appreciate some moments where they look relatively young? I’ll go first with one of my favorite Croissant photos:

You are not your mind, you are not your thoughts, you are the observer.

You are the awareness, you are consciousness.

Whatever you choose to place your awareness on is what you “manifest”

Choose what identity you what to be by selecting to only focus on the thoughts that agree with the identity you want to experience= embodying the version of you who has whatever you want/ wish fulfilled

The same way you can mute/ block or unfollow anything you do not want to see on any social media algorithm, you can choose to do the same with the thoughts in your mind that are not agreeing with your new identity/story.

It’s as simple as picking out the character you want to be for your movie. Get in character and don’t go off the script !! Have fun creating your story & getting into character because this is your life now!

Let me remind you to not let any one tell you what you can or can’t do, you are limitless being!!!

Don’t let the physical reality or the doubtful voices tell you otherwise, because you are the commander. Don’t be a prisoner or victim to your own mind. You take charge and decide to be who you say you are by selecting and reminding yourself of who you are and what you have.

Trust yourself, trust your power , the power that created all creation is within you, so trust and surrender to the fact that it is law & its happening for you. Whatever your inner man sees/hears and assumes to be your story will materialize. When you hear people say your thoughts are what manifest, it’s true but only the thoughts you place your awareness on= dominant thoughts. This is why it’s your “job” to put attention on the thoughts that support your new identity/story. = MENTAL DISCIPLINE

If you really want something you don’t stop until you get it, now I don’t mean to try and get it or work hard for it. Instead BE IT !!! What I mean is to continue to embody and think & trust in your favor!!!! continue to think in your favor no matter what the outside shows you & no matter what other thoughts you may hear, eventually by ignoring and saying “no, that’s not true” to opposing thoughts you will find it easier to think in your favor and do it naturally. Wake up every day and decide that it’s already yours, it’s already done, and be that person who has it already by focusing only on thoughts that remind you it’s already yours.✨

"CALL A <--<>] MEDIC!! A HUMAN YOUNGLING IS BLEEDING TO DEATH!! OH MY <--<->{} GODS WHY IS THERE SO MUCH IN SUCH A SMALL BODY?!"

"WHERE ARE THE HUMAN ADULTS?!"

"IN THE BATHROOM!!"

"BOTH OF THEM?!"

"THEY HAD CO-FEE!!"

"Am I dying?" whimpers the tiny small human child.

"JUST KEEP PRESSURE ON THE WOUND!"

"ELAVATE IT! SHE SHOULD ELAVATE IT!!"

"But I'll swallow blood if I do!"

"..." "..."

"YOU'LL WHAT?!" screeched both adults

"TILT DOWN! DOWN CHILD!!"

"YOU <--<>] FOR BRAINS! THAT'LL MAKE HER BLEED EVEN MORE!"

"THEN WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO?!"

"WHAT THE FU--FUDGE IS GOING HERE! WE WERE GONE FOR LESS THAN 5 MINTUES!!"

"Aw, Agnes sweetie, is your nose dry again? Come here, let's get you some tissues and clean you up. Keep your head forward." soothed the human adult.

"Can I change my shirt too?"

"Of course buddy."

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! SHE NEED MEDICAL-!"

"Would you zip it?! She's fine! It's just a bloody nose from her nose being so dry--the inside skin is sensitive and a small blood vessel was probably ruptured. It sounds and looks bad but honestly it's not a serious thing."

"...are you sure?" they fearfully asked.

"Positive. I get the same thing all the time when sick. It'll go away in a few minutes. Now for future reference just give the kid lots of tissues and have them hold it to their nose. Keep their head facing forward; if they tilt back the blood will flow into their throats, and if they tilt forward they'll bleed more."

"...understood."

"Good. Now maybe go apologize to Agnes for traumatizing her for the past 5 minutes."

"That's a good idea."

"I'll give her some of my blood as an apology."

"...that's nice but maybe don't."

Hi good sir..please reply as soon as you can!! I want to do the Master Herpetologist Program by the amphibian foundation, just curious if this is legit and not a scam! Thanks!!

It’s legit. I believe I still have three lectures on the programme (I think most things are pre-recorded; I did mine in 2020) and have heard positive things from others.

Something I love about Leo is that, canonically, he IS capable of cooking, he’s just completely incapable of using a toaster. He’s banned from the kitchen not out of an inability to make edible food, but because being within six feet of a toaster causes the poor appliance to spontaneously combust.

Hi! I just wanted to thank you for the post you made a while ago about working as a seasonal park ranger for the NPS—with your advice and inspiration, I just got hired to lead cave tours at a national monument this summer! I would never have realized this was a possibility without you, so I'm truly grateful that you shared your wisdom here on tumblr. I hope you have a great week!

omg stooOOOOPPPP this has literally made my DECADE. CONGRATULATIONS!!! I'm so thrilled for you!! Like, it's taken me an hour to reply to this because I've been floating so high about it. Truly, truly, I'm so glad you found the info helpful. Thank you for sharing your success with me--it means so much, both in general and at this particular moment.

I'm not going to bring the mood down with details and drudgery, but obviously life in the Park Service is pretty bleak right now. It really says a lot about your skills and the strength of your application that you were hired during a period of time in which literally everything is working against you. I hope you have an amazing season and that it leads to great things. Congratulations a hundred times over. Enjoy that badge.

(Here is the original post, if anyone is interested. Applications typically open in the fall for the following summer season, but it's worth checking periodically, because sometimes things open up. And this year could be very weird, with some hiring freezes still in place---parks may lose qualified applicants and thus have last-minute spaces to fill. They'll often post about these openings on social media, too.)
