Faculty in the School of Journalism and Mass Communications are committed to scholarship in the field.  We are particularly strong in health/science/risk communications, history, new media technologies and communication law.  The University has begun a number of interdisciplinary research initiatives, and many of our faculty work across disciplines inside and outside the School.

In both quantity and quality the professional and academic faculty have made great strides in producing significant scholarship.
