Loyola’s new School of Communication moved into its new home at 51 E. Pearson last December and classes started in January. Upon completion, the school will occupy the first three floors of The Clare. Classrooms, offices, and other facilities are located at the building’s base, and plans for a state-of-the-art convergence media lab are in the works. The sleek new building complements the faculty’s forward-thinking, 21st-century vision. All classrooms are electronically controlled, and every computer lab is fully stocked with Apple technology. Best of all, students and faculty now share a central space that will enhance a sense of community. The school currently offers three Bachelor of Arts degrees: Advertising & Public Relations, Communication, and Journalism. The school is also a key partner in Loyola’s interdisciplinary International Film and Media Studies program.
