The Department of Mass Communications is accredited by the highly selective Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (ACEJMC). The program is designed to prepare students for one of the fastest growing and dynamic industries in the United States: mass communication and media arts.

Our curriculum seeks to educate students so that they can be responsive to this fast paced, ever changing professional environment. While some specialized skills are essential to enable students to meet current standards, the goal of the Mass Communications curriculum is to produce graduates who are independent professional communicators capable of growing and changing with the times.

This site provides information about our undergraduate degree’s four professional options, our faculty, scholarships, a link to our Master of Science degree webpage, and more. With state of the art facilities, an exceptional faculty and a campus located only 20 minutes from St. Louis—ranked the 22nd market in the US—our program presents students with outstanding opportunities for preparation for the field of mass communication.
