What Our Students Say
“I was very proud of my work at Medill. Graduating and getting my bachelors and masters, from the finest school of journalism in the United States."
George R.R. Martin, MSJ ‘71"The program teaches you to put the consumer at the center of every decision making process. In a marketing or business environment, that's a key tool that not everyone has. It makes you unique. I wouldn't trade my IMC degree for an MBA ever."
Jose Costa, IMC ‘04
