Departments That Drive Change

Explore programs designed to empower communicators, leaders and innovators

Discover Your Calling

The media shapes how we see the world—but it doesn’t tell the whole story. We offer majors and degree programs that prepare you to question dominant narratives, uncover hidden truths and amplify voices that reveal the human experience. You’ll graduate ready to challenge assumptions, engage thoughtfully and use communication to thoughtfully interrogate the world around you.
