Now is the time to pursue studies in the fields of communication and information. The solutions to many of our critical social and economic problems are rooted in information dissemination, facilitation and negotiation, and civic engagement. Communication and information are vital to a thriving democracy -- they bring people together with the power to bridge gaps created by distance, culture, politics, and experience. Our undergraduate programs in communication, journalism and media studies, and information technology and informatics provide students with the strong knowledge base necessary to prime them for careers in industry, government, and academia. Our master’s programs in communication and media and library and information science introduce students to theory and practice in fields where the application of communication and information resources lead to success. The Ph.D. program in Communication, Information and Library Studies provides doctoral training in theoretical and research skills for scholarly and professional leadership in the fields of communication, library and information science, and and media studies.
