The journalism program is designed to stir the student's spirit of curiosity, resourcefulness and concern about the issue of the day. Students practice the fundamentals of thorough news gathering and concise writing while they also study the history, literature and law of their field.

All concentrations of study are supported by the School's nationally-renowned internship program. Our internship program gives students valuable field experience throughout the Hudson River Valley Region and in New York City with world leaders in communication, news media, advertising, public relations, sports, publishing, television, and other industries.

The School of Communication and the Arts hosts some of the most prestigious student clubs and activities on the Marist campus, such as the Public Relations Student Society of America. Professional organizations provide students with unique experiences, as well as leadership and professional development opportunities.
