Editing, Writing, and Media

Students with Florida State University in Valencia’s study abroad program will be able to participate in two courses in Editing, Writing, and Media (EWM). Open to other majors as well as those of other English tracks, these courses also count towards the EWM track in the English department. Students will learn about all that goes into a final publication including an eye-catching design as well as experience-based journalistic-style articles. Students will also learn about real-world editing and building up skills through hands-on exercises. Students will be able to use a digital publication in the magazine-style for applying to graduate school or presenting to potential employers.
