Teacher Workshops



Attending a High School Journalism Institute summer workshop will enable you to learn from expert media educators while earning credit toward certification. Some courses will involve readings to be completed in advance and a major project due one week following the workshop. Classes meet in full-day intensive sessions Monday morning through Friday afternoon. Class size is limited and pre-enrollment is required, so register by May 21.

Each of the four one-week workshops carries two graduate credits in the School of Journalism. A final project is due following the workshop’s end. An extra project can be completed for a third credit, if desired.

Tuition fees for 2010 are not set yet. For 2009, fees were $291.97 per graduate credit plus $118.12. This extra expense is for technology, activity and transportation fees. (Health fees are charged only to students taking six or more hours.) In addition, a $20 non-refundable workshop fee must accompany the pre-enrollment form. Fees are the same for both in-state and out-of-state students.

After mailing in this form with check, we will send you IU registration materials to complete. After these have been completed and mailed back to HSJI, you will be officially registered with the university. The bursar’s office will generate a bill for you after the workshop has begun for tuition. Note: The bursar does not accept credit card payments. The bursar Web site explains bill and payment procedures.

Workshops also are offered as non-credit for a fee of $250 per course.
