School of Mass Communication

Welcome to Our World

Success in the fast-moving world of communications relies on more than just the ability to use technology. At the School of Mass Communication, students are both educated and trained to combine critical awareness and make decisions with technical and organizational competence.

With our sequences in advertising, journalism, and public relations, students gain the the technical competency and the ability to provide vision and leadership in the complex field of communications. Perhaps that’s why the School of Mass Communication was named one of the Great Schools for Communications and Journalism Majors by the Princeton Review, and why more Loyola undergraduates choose to major at the School of Mass Communication than in any other degree program.
