The School of Journalism blends a rich history with today's technology. Founded in 1914, the J-School started in Army tents pitched on the Oval. Today, our home is in Don Anderson Hall, which opened in 2007. We are a professional school where students learn by doing. Our professors have all had successful careers in the news media and continue to stay current with the fast-changing media world. Our alums go onto careers in journalism and all kinds of other fields, from politics to law, to working in the film industry or working for non-profits.
