The KU School of Journalism is known for its leadership in providing a multidisciplinary cross-platform curriculum that reflects the realities of the 21st century workplace. This means that students pursuing the News and Information track are prepared to work in a variety of media when they graduate, including newspapers, magazines, broadcasting and online. The school’s other track, Strategic Communication, prepares graduates for careers in advertising, public relations, promotion, sales and/or media management. The School prides itself on an innovative curriculum that teaches journalism’s traditional values and skills while preparing students for a world of rapidly changing technology.

Reputation for Faculty and Student Excellence:

The School has a well-established national reputation for excellence. The 2008 Fiske Guide to Colleges gave KU high marks for academics and quality of life and was called “one of the premier college bargains in the United States.” The Journalism School was praised for its strength. Our students continue to earn recognition for themselves and the School for their news and advertising work on the University Daily Kansan, news coverage and promotion on KJHK-FM and KUJH-TV, and strategic communication campaigns developed for real clients. For the second consecutive year, the School of Journalism placed first in the Hearst Foundation’s Writing Awards program, often called the “College Pulitzers.”

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. « less
