Welcome to the Department of Media & Journalism
Social media, advertising, television, radio, sport marketing, newspapers, and more engage with the public. The media and marketing fields make that connection possible.
At USD, our faculty have the real-world experience and expertise to prepare students for the rapidly-changing media landscape. Through small class sizes and interactive learning opportunities, our students develop marketable skills in and beyond the classroom as they explore all aspects of media, social media marketing, journalism, sport media, advertising and public relations. Students don't have to wait to get this valuable experience; they dive into their studies and benefit from career preparation throughout the curriculum. Whether students have their sights set on the sport marketing industry, the world of journalism, the public relations sphere or another media profession, our programs help them prepare for the future and achieve their goals.
