About Journalism and Mass Communication

Journalism and Mass Communication (JMC) is an exciting and dynamic academic discipline at the forefront of contemporary liberal arts and social science education. The field is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing connections across journalism (print, broadcast, and digital), communication, television production, animation, advertising, information technology, and the social sciences including psychology, political science, sociology, and anthropology. JMC also examines a two-way relationship between media and society. JMC takes a critical approach to study media, culture, politics, economics, and human behavior.
