Welcome to the new College of Communication and Media!
Hear more from our students and Dean!

By transitioning from a School to a College on July 1, 2025, CCOM has increased national visibility, more opportunities for students, and additional leadership development opportunities for faculty and staff as part of New Jersey’s second-largest higher education institution.

“This exciting change impacts our entire CCOM community,” said Dr. Keith Strudler, Dean of the College of Communication and Media. “I am grateful for the continued efforts of our talented faculty and staff, and I am truly looking forward to growing the national profile and impact of this College while forging the future of our collective fields.”
