Our Graduate Program
Welcome to the Graduate Program of the Missouri School of Journalism, where the first master's and doctoral degrees in journalism ever awarded in our field were presented in 1921 and 1934 respectively.
Today, both the master's and doctoral programs at the School enjoy superb reputations, both among scholars and among practitioners in news, advertising, public relations and strategic communication.
For our master's program, only Missouri Journalism offers as complete a set of real-media experiences. We operate the only commercial television station in the country (an NBC affiliate) used to train journalism students. We publish a community daily newspaper (not a campus paper), and we operate four major Web sites, a local magazine and an international magazine.
Our strategic communication students design media campaigns for local and national clients. Our students have created advertising and public relations campaigns for Nokia, Apple, Dr Pepper, Anheuser-Busch, Duncan Hines, DuPont, Dow Chemical, Kinko's, Eastman Kodak and many other leading international brands.
We operate educational programs in Washington, D.C., and New York, where many of our students carry out their capstone projects or do research. We also partner with educational programs from South Africa to Europe.
More than 80 faculty members in every area of journalism, mass and strategic communication provide as rich an intellectual environment as you'll find anywhere. We operate our own survey research center where you can learn from top researchers and social scientists. Our doctoral students are some of the most prolific producers of research in the field, as witnessed by our top performances at the annual meeting of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication and the International Communication Association.
After you explore this Web site, you'll have some idea of what awaits graduate students who join us in the pursuit of better mass communication processes. If you have specific questions about how you can best make use of our educational program, please don't hesitate to call or e-mail us. We also welcome visits. Just let us know when you can come to Columbia, and we'll set up a visit tailored to your interests and needs.
We look forward to hearing from you.
