leading national research university and the state of New Jersey’s
preeminent, comprehensive public institution of higher education.
Established in 1766, the university is the eighth oldest higher
education institution in the United States. More than 69,000
students and 23,200 full- and part-time faculty and staff learn,
work, and serve the public at Rutgers locations across New Jersey
and around the world. The School of Communication and Information
(SC&I) is a dynamic center of learning at the heart of the
Rutgers-New Brunswick campus. Founded in 1982, SC&I research
and teaching is delivered by three academic departments:
Communication, Journalism and Media Studies, and Library and
Information Science. Through five undergraduate majors and minors,
three masters degrees, and an interdisciplinary Ph.D. program, the
school teaches over 8,400 students each year, of whom 2,600 are its
own undergraduate, masters, and doctoral students. Geographically
adjacent and closely connected to the world’s largest media and
information hubs and supported by Rutgers’ vibrant scholarly
community, SC&I embraces the university goals of promoting
diversity throughout our networks and programs, and is strongly
committed to social engagement. For more about the school see:
http://comminfo.rutgers.edu . The Department of Communication is
dedicated to advancing knowledge about communication and its
practice in society. The department examines how meaning is created
and negotiated in human interaction to address the personal,
professional, and public communication challenges and opportunities
posed by 21st century life. Our students become leaders in private,
public and civil sectors by developing a deep and practical
appreciation of how communication shapes the world in which we
live. Research from SC&I’s renowned faculty experts examines
the complexity of communication processes related to five focal
areas: communication and technology, health communication,
interpersonal communication, language and social interaction, and
organizational communication. SC&I’s students may also acquire
knowledge and skills allowing them to pursue careers related to
strategic communication and public relations, leadership, health
and wellness, relational and family communication, and a range of
other options. The Department of Journalism and Media Studies ( JMS
) helps students learn the craft of finding and reporting the news,
as well as making other types of media, using cutting-edge tools
and technology. The department’s courses also aid students in
learning to evaluate and understand the wide variety of media forms
that permeate their lives. Students gain a grounding in the
history, ethics and values of journalism that can prepare them to
be media producers during an exciting time of innovation while
learning to analyze media systems and power in ways that help them
become better-equipped citizens and community members.
