The Knight School of Communication provides students with the ability to analyze and understand audiences, situations and sources, and to develop appropriate messages in a variety of contexts. Undergraduate and graduate students are prepared to serve as leading practitioners in journalism, corporate and organizational communication and in strategic business, community, civic and governmental leadership. With a foundation in the liberal arts, through practical use of technology and multimedia skills, and with an insistence on critical thinking skills, students embrace change as a way of life in an always-on world.

Students learn about the ethics and history of communication as a discipline and an industry so they will know what to do when confronted with major decisions. They will have the moral and ethical construct that builds character and good judgment. And they will enter the marketplace with confidence in their ability to engage in meaningful work.

A gift to The Queens Fund for the Knight School of Communication will support merit- and need- based scholarships for communication students.
