The media of information, entertainment
and persuasion are changing dramatically. These changes are
the result of both new technologies and continually evolving
standards in the gathering and presentation of public messages.
As the School entered the 21st Century,
the faculty thoroughly revised the curriculum to reflect these
developments and the changing needs of the professions of
journalism and mass communications. The School made a strong
commitment to the teaching of critical and creative thinking
while at the same time continuing to emphasize the basics
of information gathering, useful analysis, clear writing,
critical editing and creative presentation.
The J-School prepares students for careers
in advertising, corporate communications, integrated marketing
communications, news writing and editing, management and sales
in traditional and emerging and converged media. Critical
and creative thinking abilities, combined with marketable
skills, enable our graduates to fulfill their career aspirations
and to realize their potential as citizens in a restless world.
The School currently enrolls 731 undergraduate
students and 67 graduate students. Journalism classes have
been taught at KU since 1903. The J-School has been accredited
continuously since 1948 by the Accrediting Council on Education
in Journalism and Mass Communications.
