How Does It Work?

All of MatadorU’s programs are conducted entirely online. After you enroll in the school, here’s how it works:

Step 1: Read the Lessons

You’ll have access to Lesson 1 right away. At the end of each lesson, you’re offered a recommended reading guide (optional) as well as an assignment.

The following week, you will receive an email announcing your next lesson is available.

Step 2: Submit Your Assignments

All of your assignments can be published on your existing blog (if you have one), your new Wordpress blog, or your new Matador blog. From there, your assignment will be available for review by Matador editors and other students. Be sure to post the URL for each assignment in the corresponding Forum thread.

Step 3: Discuss in the Forums

After each lesson, you are able to discuss the ideas further in the forums, with other students and Matador editors.

Lather, rinse, repeat each week.

Browse the Market Blog

Throughout the travel writing course, you will have access to our exclusive Market Blog, updated with the latest writing and photography gigs. As a MatadorU student, you are free to pursue these leads at any time, though you may wish to complete the course first.

Complete the Course

This schedule will proceed for the entire 12 weeks of your course. Once the course is over, you will always have access to the complete curriculum and Student Forums.
