School of Mass Communication

The Write Stuff: pursuing truth, technical competency, and leadership in communications

Success in the fast-moving world of communications relies on more than just the ability to use technology. At the School of Mass Communication, you’ll be both educated and trained, so you can combine critical awareness and the ability to make decisions, with technical and organizational competence. Perhaps that’s why the School of Mass Communication in the College of Social Sciences was named one of the Great Schools for Communications Majors and Great Schools for Journalism Majors by the Princeton Review. It’s why more Loyola undergraduates choose a major at the School of Mass Communication than in any other degree program.

Here, you’ll choose from four sequences within mass communication:  advertising, journalism, media studies or public relations. You’ll have access to state-of-the-art computer labs and the latest technology. And you’ll gain real-life, practical experience by working with the Shawn M. Donnelley Center for Nonprofit Communications and the Center for Environmental Communication. In short, you’ll graduate with technical competency and the ability to provide vision and leadership in the complex field of communications.
