News Flash!!

The Department of Journalism at UNT has been approved by The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to become The Frank W. and Sue Mayborn School of Journalism. The Department of Journalism, which offers both undergraduate and graduate degree programs in journalism, will separate from the College of Arts and Sciences, effective Sept. 1, 2009. Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Wendy Wilkins, has appointed Dr. Mitch Land as Interim Dean and is currently looking for a founding dean.

The department is nationally accredited by the Accrediting Council for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (ACEJMC) and is considered one of the best journalism programs in Texas. It is known for its emphasis on student mentoring and for its highly selective admissions policies.

Within the Department of Journalism, areas of study include news (print, magazine, web, broadcast and photojournalism), advertising and public relations.
