Journalism and Mass Communication

The Journalism and Mass Communication (JMC) major is built on three interwoven streams: the best practices of interactive U.S. teaching traditions, the rigorous academic foundation of scholarly inquiry, and the practical activity of a learning-through-doing approach. The JMC major offers students both the theoretical foundation and the practical skills to pursue careers and opportunities in content creation, marketing, graphic design, news reporting, digital storytelling, advertising, video and documentary production, photography, or podcasting. Repeatedly ranked #1 by the National University Rankings, the JMC major emphasizes a hands-on, project-based curriculum and features international faculty members with professional experience, industry credentials, and a strong desire to mentor and teach. Classroom work is complimented with a range of student clubs and extracurricular activities like exhibitions, film festivals, and pop-up events. On a variety of storytelling platforms, students explore their passions, their communities and the issues that matter from the local to the global.
