We prepare students for careers in both traditional and new communication and media fields. Our courses integrate professional skills, especially the skills of writing and storytelling, with a theoretical foundation in the role of media in a global society.

We support experiential education unique to the journalism, strategic communication and media industries to better prepare students for meaningful work beyond graduation.

Our faculty bring their world-class research and professional experience into their classrooms, studios, and labs, giving students the unparalleled opportunity to learn right from the source of the latest innovations in knowledge and practice.

SJMC graduate degrees emphasize individualized inquiry in a lively intellectual environment where students and faculty work together as a community of learners.
