The purpose of the School of Journalism and Strategic Media is to provide students with knowledge of the history, theory, and ethics of mass communications, to educate students in journalistic skills, including the ability to express themselves logically and clearly, and to guide them in securing specialized knowledge of society appropriate to journalistic careers.

The School of Journalism and Strategic Media offers two undergraduate majors leading to a Bachelor of Arts degree: a major in Advertising and Public Relations and a major in Journalism. The journalism major offers students a choice of two concentrations, either the broadcast concentration or the news/editorial concentration. The school also offers two combined majors — a Journalism/English combined major and a Journalism/Political Science combined major — as well as a minor in journalism.
