The UNC School of Journalism and Mass Communication is one of the world’s leading journalism and mass communication programs. The national Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications has said:
“The School of Journalism and Mass Communication at UNC-Chapel Hill is recognized by academics and media professionals as perhaps the best program in the nation. Many believe it has the best balance of any journalism-mass media communications school because it places appropriate emphasis on both scholarly productivity and professional excellence. Moreover, it combines the best in undergraduate and graduate education. Clearly, the school is focused on its mission of excellence.”
The school is located in Carroll Hall on the historic Polk Place quad of the nation’s first public university – just a short walk from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s iconic Old Well. The venerable Carroll Hall has been equipped with state-of-the-art classrooms, labs and media production facilities. It is also home to the extensive Park Library; the Charles Kuralt Learning Center; the N.C. Halls of Fame for journalism, advertising, public relations and broadcasting; and the Freedom Forum Conference Center.
Students work closely with faculty using the latest technology to produce award-winning television and radio programs, multimedia Web sites, photography and news stories.
The school has a revered teaching reputation, and faculty members are highly regarded scholars and researchers contributing to the understanding of media’s changing role in our society.
Students are generously supported through numerous scholarships and awards, alumni-sponsored activities, student organizations and other activities.
An uncommonly loyal base of alumni, friends and media companies create a margin of excellence for the school through private gifts supporting facilities, undergraduate scholarships, graduate fellowships, professorships and many other special programs.
Media organizations and businesses across the nation – and now the world – come to us looking to hire our graduates and to create new professional and research partnerships. |
