Snapshots of Griffith College - Dublin Site Visit - 2006

The School of Journalism and Mass Communications continues to stress the importance of gaining international experience in the global communications marketplace.

It has begun a series of template programs with partner institutions to help standardize the course transfer process for college credits earned abroad.

The goal of these template programs is to give students academic choice at quality institutions abroad in exciting locations.

The template programs will add to the already popular one-on-one direct exchange programs run by the university, student-selected programs provided by outside vendors, and the school's very successful partnership with the Consortium of International Universities located in northern Italy.

In Jan. 2006 as part of establishing these template programs, Dr. Kent Sidel and his wife Annette Walker, along with USC Study Abroad's Jennifer Engel, toured the facilities at Griffith College in Dublin.

The School of Journalism and Mass Communications is partnering with Academic Studies Abroad to offer our students the opportunity to study in Dublin at an established private college and transfer back to USC credits toward graduation.

These snapshots of the campus reflect the mix of established and newly constructed facilities. Since these photos were taken the new media and classroom building has been completed and additional new dormitory construction continues.
