Welcome to the Department of Journalism and Media Studies. We invite you to join us in any of our three majors/minors. These include Film and Television Studies (FTS), Journalism (JRN) and Media Communication Studies (MCS). Please take a look at what we have to offer and think about how you could be part of it. The Department of Journalism and Media Studies (JMS), formerly known as the Department of Journalism, Communication and Theatre (JCT), focuses on the study and practice of journalism and all other forms of entertainment and information media from their roots in print and broadcast media to the latest platforms of digital media. We are dedicated to the development of strong writing skills, a deeper understanding of media and storytelling techniques that facilitate clear, accurate, and relevant content.
