The Grady College is one of the oldest and most distinguished communication programs in the country. Its three departments -- journalism, telecommunications, and advertising and public relations -- are consistently ranked among the very best in the nation.

Our focus on providing the highest possible quality of education drives the Grady College's success and the success of its alumni. It is our privilege to prepare the next generation of leaders in journalism and communication, and it is our commitment to emphasize education rather than to simply provide training.

The distinguished faculty is critical to the success of our mission. Not only do they provide students with the best in professional training, they also instill within them a sound understanding of the duties, responsibilities and obligations they will have as future journalists and communication professionals within a democracy.

The Grady College is home to the Peabody Awards, internationally recognized as one of the most prestigious awards for excellence in electronic media.

The College also houses a number of internationally renowned centers and institutes including The James M. Cox, Jr. Center for International Mass Communication Training and Research, the James M. Cox, Jr. Institute for Newspaper Management, the New Media Institute, the Dowden Center for New Media Studies and the Michael J. Faherty Broadcast Management Laboratory.

I invite you to join us as we advance public communication through research, study, application and service. Browse the site, and get to know us better.
