Academic & Teaching Excellence with Real-World Experience

In addition to significant academic achievements, all our journalism and PR faculty have practical experience. You’ll learn from experienced journalists who have reported, edited and written for newspapers, magazines and professional journals. Our PR faculty have worked in and consulted for corporations, nonprofits and agencies as well as having owned their own businesses.

The journalism and public relations faculty takes an active interest in the personal and academic lives of our students, and we will work closely with you to help define your goals and assist you in course selection, academic advice and career questions.
