The department is located on the first floor of the Clow Social Science Center, which is in a central location in the midst of the campus. The department has three computer-laboratory classrooms equipped with 45 Macintosh computers used exclusively for journalism classes. In addition, the department has a multimedia production room, reading room, general office, conference room, workroom for student assistants and nine offices for its faculty, all located near each other. The department has eight full-time faculty members, three adjunct positions, one program assistant, and several student assistants. Provider offer emphases in news-editorial and advertising-public relations, in addition to a newly established focus on visual journalism. In the news-editorial emphasis, students are prepared to take entry-level positions on daily and weekly newspapers and magazines. In the advertising-public relations emphasis, students are prepared to take entry-level positions with media, agencies and related organizations. The visual journalism focus enables students to learn both press and commercial photographic skills before entering into the entry-level positions in the visual industry. Education on new communication technology and journalism diversity has been integrated into different courses across the emphases.
