The School of Communication at American University is highly regarded for its faculty, facilities, and high professional standards by The Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications [1]. The school offers four undergraduate and graduate majors: communication studies, print/broadcast journalism, public communication, and visual media. Interdisciplinary degrees in communication, legal institutions, economics, and government (CLEG, which is housed in the School of Public Affairs); multimedia design and development; and foreign language and communication media are also available. Students in SOC must have a minor or another major not based in SOC. It is also well known for providing its students with numerous experiential educational opportunities.
