The School of Mass Communications, founded in 1971, is one of the largest units of the College of Humanities and Sciences. We offer a professional undergraduate education — not just training — in an environment that values the strong foundation of liberal arts and sciences so necessary for professional communicators.

Whether our students choose concentrations in journalism (with further specialization in print or broadcast), advertising or public relations, they share a common core of course work in the liberal arts and sciences as well as in mass communications before they begin their major focus.
