Think. Innovate. Create.

The ways we tell stories, and the tools we use to share them, are changing. But the most essential element to any story—a post, a podcast, a documentary, a campaign—is connection.

At the College of Communication, Media, Design and Information, we prepare you to tell stories that connect with audiences and influence public discourse. In labs, on internships and in interactive classes, you'll get hands-on experience building digital platforms, creating engaging journalism and reimagining urban spaces. You'll meet alumni and researchers who will share networks and perspectives on finding opportunities amid change. And you'll graduate with a captivating portfolio that will turn heads as you begin your professional career.

Everyone who comes to CMDI has a story. Let's start telling yours.
