Journalism and Mass Communication

Welcome to The Department of Journalism and Mass Communication

Our mission is to provide students with the best possible educational experience by combining rigorous intellectual inquiry with hands-on professional training. Our approach is highly interdisciplinary--drawing from history, psychology, sociology, philosophy, and cultural studies to create and evaluate media texts and to inquire into the cultural implications of new media technologies.

The media we create and critique include web sites, magazines, newspapers (on-line and print), graphic designs, advertising, television, radio, and photography (digital and traditional).
