I am most familiar with the School of Journalism and Mass Communication and the Communication Studies programs. Although the Communication Studies program has a positive national reputation, the department is, in fact, very troubled. The atmosphere is terrible for graduate students, faculty are unhelpful and mean, there is a good deal of fighting in the department, and the program is not nearly as good as it used to be. The School of Journalism and Mass Communication is a far better program for doctoral students, offering financial and scholarly support, critical courses, teaching opportunities, freedom in designing your program, and a positive atmosphere for academic growth and teaching development.
