Welcome to Communication and Journalism

The Department’s primary educational mission is to offer challenging liberal arts degree programs that include the personal and professional practices and the social contexts of communication, mass communication, and journalism. Through the study of human communication we seek to understand and to improve the human condition. The Department fulfills this liberal arts mission through its undergraduate programs in Communication, Mass Communication, and Journalism, and through its graduate programs in Communication and Mass Communication.

**Spring, 2012 News**
The Department is adding a new section of CMJ 376: Modes of Media Criticism this spring for those of you interested in taking it. CMJ 376 is one of the three required core courses for Mass Communication majors, and is regularly only offered in the fall semesters. Journalism and Communication majors are invited to enroll as well. The course will be offered 2:00-4:30 Tuesdays.

Please Note:
CMJ 489 Media Ethics and Issues will not be offered in the fall 2012 semester. If you are planning to graduate in December 2012 and intend to take CMJ 489 in order to graduate, you need to take it this spring semester.
