Our discipline focuses on the content, history, effects, and sociological context of various media—nationally and globally—across a wide variety of perspectives.
The Department of Journalism and Communication at Lehigh University offers vibrant, hands-on learning opportunities. Guided by expert faculty, students develop the skills to tell stories that make a real impact. They discover who they are while building a solid foundation in reporting, editing, storytelling, and law and ethics in our modern age.
A background in journalism, with its emphasis on research and writing, is excellent preparation for careers in traditional journalism, digital media, marketing communications, public relations, and even fields outside the profession, such as law, government service, teaching, and business management. At Lehigh, we're doing real work and telling real stories. We make progress happen.
Students leave here ready to build a meaningful career and make a real, measurable, and lasting difference in their communities and the world.
