The departments of Communication Studies; Film, Television and Digital Media; Journalism; and Strategic Communication provide a mixture of technical and research skills from a diverse faculty who believe in and practice the teacher-scholar model.

e college are respected both nationally and internationally as professors and professionals in their field of expertise. One of the driving forces that keep the faculty active in their professional and research agendas, is to enhance the classroom experience of their students. Indeed, this group of faculty is the essence of the teacher/scholar model of education. The faculty share one other common trait: a desire to interact with students. Whether in the classroom, on a research project, or programs abroad, interaction with faculty is an everyday experience. A caring, mentoring faculty working with a distinguished student population propels the academic mission of the College.
