Facts Are Facts

In an increasingly complicated world, where the very idea of objective truth is being challenged, it falls to journalists to dig, untangle, and tell us what’s going on … before the facts are brushed away.

Journalism Matters Now More Than Ever

As a journalism major, you’ll learn how to gather, assess, and disseminate information and ideas. You’ll be challenged to find new ways of thinking and new ways of approaching problems.

Armed with an ability to critically evaluate and clearly communicate, graduates will not only be able to define issues and ideas to others, but will look at everything through a new lens themselves.

Democracy Depends On It

“I think there is probably no better time for journalism now and journalism education because journalists today play a tough and difficult role. But they are more essential than ever, especially in maintaining a democracy.”

—Simon Surowicz, Associate Professor of Journalism
