Loyola University Chicago is pleased to announce the School of Communication, the University's first new school in 39 years. It will begin independent operations this summer, and will occupy the first three floors of The Clare at Water Tower Campus beginning in January 2009.
Initially, the school will offer undergraduate majors in advertising/public relations, communication, and journalism. Says Provost Christine Wiseman, "Our location in downtown Chicago is a major advantage. As one of the nation's largest media markets, Chicago offers Loyola students abundant opportunities to cut their teeth in the communication fields." The school will partner with the College of Arts and Sciences to support the international film and media studies major.
"This new school will be a collaborative community of scholars and professionals. They will work within our Jesuit tradition of liberal arts education with a focus on preparing our students for successful and rewarding professional lives," says President Michael Garanzini, S.J.
