Greetings!

The Scripps College of Communication at Ohio University is a vibrant community where faculty, staff and students work together in classrooms, studios, research and media laboratories, as well as out in the field to explore and enhance our understanding of communication products and practices. We are creative artists, hard-hitting journalists and dedicated researchers; we are award winning teachers and internationally known scholars.

Studying communication, in all its many forms, is essential for those who want to meet the social, professional and personal challenges of the 21 st century. Those who can create effective visual, written and spoken messages as well as understand and manage communication technologies will be well-positioned to lead meaningful, successful and happy lives. The Scripps College of Communication is dedicated to providing the teaching and scholarship that will help us all do just that.

I invite you to explore the highly rated undergraduate and graduate programs in our five outstanding schools as well as the educational opportunities and community service offered by the WOUB Center for Public Media.

Sincerely,
Dean Gregory J. Shepherd
