With a commitment to cutting-edge education, the School of Journalism and Media prepares students to excel in today’s rapidly changing media world. Our renowned faculty brings real-world expertise to the classroom, ensuring students receive a high-quality education that blends tradition with innovation. Our students have access to a variety of in-college media outlets such as The Daily Beacon, WUTK-FM, Lumos Media, Land Grant Films, Ablaze Magazine, WUOT-FM, and more. This enables them to gain real-world experience in their chosen discipline and be #HandsOnFromDay1.
I engaged in numerous hands-on experiences at the School of Journalism and Media that have significantly helped me begin my career before I even graduated. Getting to do real-world work as an underclassman shaped my skills and gave me a step up in the job market.”
