The quality, vitality and innovation of our programs remain unsurpassed, providing the foundation and opportunity for students not only to succeed, but to shape the future of journalism.

Our faculty are preeminent in their fields. They are award-winning reporters, columnists, authors, magazine editors, documentary filmmakers, and new media specialists. They are experienced, independent thinkers with a history of personal accomplishment who are deeply committed to teaching, challenging, and supporting their students.

The prizes and awards we administer, including the Pulitzer Prizes and the duPont-Columbia Awards, are internationally known.
