the Center for Pure and Applied Mathematics, the Institute of East
Asian Studies and the Graduate School of Journalism. Berkeley also

scholarship. The university's student body is unique in its diversity
and variety: no single racial, ethnic or cultural group forms a
majority of its students.
The Graduate School of
Journalism at the University of California, Berkeley encourages
students to gain a broad understanding of current affairs and develop
expertise in specialized subjects along with traditional journalism
practices. The two-year program leading to a Master of Journalism
allows students to take up to one-third of their coursework in other
departments and schools. Joint degree programs in combination with
