Our students complete meaningful internships at the top companies and media organizations in the nation. Most are offered jobs after they've completed those internships. The faculty teaching in classrooms and advising the student newspaper, magazine, television news programs, sports broadcasting, entertainment programs and the debate squads hold degrees from America's finest colleges and universities, and many are nationally recognized experts in their fields of research and practice.
