Last spring, the faculty approved a journalism major and minor. Building on a foundation of the liberal arts, and expanding on the prior narrative journalism concentration, the major will teach students to research, report, and tell important stories — relevant skills in today’s changing media environment.

Moving on up

Our US News & World Report ranking moved again! This year we checked in at #42 for national liberal arts colleges. Rankings are important factors for prospective students and parents, so we can’t help but be #DenisonProud.
