Although the Journalism Entrepreneurship program has been discontinued, CU Boulder offers an alternative with a Master of Arts in Corporate Communication. This transition might affect students specifically interested in journalism. The in-state and out-of-state costs are moderately priced but the switch in program focus affects its specificity to journalism careers.
