Show You School of Journalism & Mass Communication Pride

School of Journalism & Mass Communication   Our Past Journalism first appeared at Texas State with the publication of The College Star in 1911. The first journalism course offerings began in 1930 and were offered by the English Department. That led to the creation of a Department of Journalism in 1946. Our educational mission expanded in 1966 and we were renamed the Department of Mass Communication. In 2003 we joined the ranks of programs with national professional accreditation and, in 2006, became the School of Journalism and Mass Communication.  Our Present University Star Award Recipients In the past year, The University Star, KTSW-FM, and Bobcat Update (TV) won more than 45 student journalism awards at the state, regional and national levels. Students also participated in the PR Bateman Competition and the AAF National Student Advertising Competition. And new student groups were formed around interests in social media, events planning and photo journalism. There are now a dozen student media organizations. These are only a few of our accomplishments. More details are available at www.masscomm.txstate.edu.  Our Future We hope that you take PRIDE in your alma mater and will assist us to build on the past as we prepare students to work in the media professions of the future.
