Our school is located on beautiful Biscayne Bay Campus in North Miami Beach, Florida. The South Florida area provides a ready-made laboratory for the study of Journalism and Mass Communication. Miami/Fort Lauderdale is one of the top 20 television markets in the country, a major international crossroad for business, the U.S. center for the cruise business, a huge tourism and service area, and a home to a variety of agencies and media.

Florida International University's School of Journalism and Mass Communication is an accredited school, recognized by the national Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications (ACEJMC). Of all the Journalism and Mass Communication programs in the country, approximately only 25% are accredited by ACEJMC. Welcome to a quality program!

While theory is an important part of the curriculum, a great deal of emphasis is placed on the actual practice of Journalism and Mass Communication in order to prepare you for your first job and to allow you to grow within the industry.

The school aims at preparing professionals. We want to prepare you to be able to demonstrate a grasp of the liberal arts and an appreciation of the value of knowledge and learning. We want you to also explore, in some depth, a specific field of knowledge outside of communications and be proficient in the basic skills necessary to meet the demands of the profession. This includes your ability to write English to professional standards by mastering the mechanics of writing, grammar, spelling and punctuation.

We want you to be able to think clearly and objectively about the complexities of the modern world, formulate concepts and effectively communicate information to targeted audiences as well as be able to understand the social, ethical, economic, philosophical and political aspects of the communication profession in our society. Each department within the School of Journalism and Mass Communication has prepared an information package listing the program tracks, the courses, and requirements.
