Welcome

Welcome to the School of Journalism and Mass Communication (SJMC) at Texas State.  We are very excited about your interest in our program and look forward to working with you as you begin or continue your college endeavor.  The SJMC is committed to excellence in education and takes great pride in the success of our students.  Our programs strive to cultivate strong research, theoretical, critical and ethical skills in a diverse and engaging environment that prepares students to be socially responsible media professionals, scholars and citizens.

Academic advising plays an important role in our student's success.  It allows the student and advisor to review the student's degree, plan for semesters ahead, recommend courses and discuss different career paths.  Our pre-mass communication students (have not met our admission requirements) are required to get advised each semester prior to registration.  We encourage our full-mass communication students (have met all of our admission requirements) to see an advisor each semester to check on course prerequisites and prepare for graduation. 

If you are a prospective student and interested in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication we would be happy to meet with you and share information about our program and answer any questions you may have.  Appointments can be set up by calling our office at 512-245-2656.
