Jayhawk Journalists in action
Watch students and faculty talk about the KU J-School experience.

The KU School of Journalism is known nationally for its leadership in providing a multidisciplinary cross-platform curriculum that reflects the realities of the 21st Century workplace. Our News and Information and Strategic Communication academic tracks prepare students for professions in today’s rapidly changing media environment.

KU J-School students excel in all areas. We placed first, for the third consecutive year, in the Hearst Journalism Writing Awards, often called the “College Pulitzers.” The Kansan advertising staff also was recently chosen best in the nation, for the second consecutive year, by the College Newspaper Business and Advertising Managers Association.

If you are interested in a program that will teach you the skills to succeed, and if you have a passion for storytelling and maintaining the integrity of the profession, then consider becoming a Jayhawk Journalist!
