About the School of Journalism and Mass Communications:

Founded more than 70 years ago, the SJSU School of Journalism and Mass Communications is the largest of its kind in Northern California. We offer undergraduate degrees in advertising, journalism and public relations, as well as specialized education in reporting/editing (newspaper), photo, magazine and electronic (broadcast) journalism. Our graduate program also offers a Master's in Mass Communications.

The key element connecting these disciplines: They all require development of individual and group critical thinking skills and current events knowledge, plus the ability to communicate clearly through words, images, audio, video and other means. These skills are the single most valuable commodity a job applicant can have in today's world. There’s no better place to learn and polish these skills than the SJSU School of Journalism & Mass Communications.
