Edward R. Murrow College of Communication
The Edward R. Murrow College of Communication aims to further Ed Murrow’s legacy of excellence, courage and innovation. The college is strategically focused to meet the escalating international demand for professional and responsible communicators who have an expanded world view and can effectively function in the complex new digital media environment.
We live in an age when journalism and communication are perhaps more critical than at any other time in our nation’s history. In my mind, there is no more meaningful name in all of journalism than the Murrow name. Our faculty, staff and students take this responsibility seriously.
