About

"Choosing journalism was like choosing to place my right foot after my left: it just made sense."
- Olivia Bragg, B.A. '20

In our department, you'll use the most up-to-date technology and the latest editing and design software to hone your skills and work alongside faculty practitioners and scholars.

Our faculty offer expertise in each area of the field and a passion for diverse research in areas such as ethics, media relations, minorities, media and religion, social media, public relations, journalism history, media and politics, media and civil society, documentary methods and media effects.

We care about your future. Let us prove it.
