Welcome!

Dear Prospective A.Q. Miller Students,

We are an accredited journalism and mass communications program with a national and international reputation for providing students with a quality education. We teach everything from the basics of news writing to the intricacies of web design. From the time you arrive, until the day you graduate, opportunities for involvement in student media are plentiful. We house the Huck Boyd National Center for Community Media, the Journalism Education Association, PRSSA and other active student organizations, as well as the award-winning Collegian newspaper and the Royal Purple yearbook.

A Diverse Learning Environment

We strive to attract a diverse population. Our undergraduate and graduate students this fall are some of the most academically talented in recent history. Our location in the heart of America is a selling point. Students from all over want to come here to study journalism and mass communication. We also have international ties in such areas as Latin America, Italy, Denmark, England and Spain for students wanting to study abroad.

Leaders in Converged Journalism

The Miller School is in a unique position to be a leader in the field of multi-purposing -- the process of creating information simultaneously for multiple outlets including print, broadcast and cable, online, and mobile technology. Our student media including Wildcat radio and the Collegian are finding ways to work together to provide students with experience in converged news operations parallel to industry standards today.

Fostering Free and Responsible Speech

For any respected journalism and mass communications program, freedom of speech is paramount. The First Amendment allows individuals and the media to express themselves through publication and dissemination. Our faculty and staff believe in fostering an environment conducive to free speech. We teach students to uphold their rights and assume the responsibilities that come with such freedom. We keep strong ties with our alumni who understand our needs and goals and return to campus to inspire current students with the standards set in media organizations.

The Place to Be!

Whether you are interested in advertising, broadcast news, print journalism, public relations, or new media, K-State is the place to be. You won’t find a more enthusiastic group of students, faculty or staff... or a nicer community in which to live. If you have questions, feel free to contact anyone of us. We'll look forward to meeting your needs.

Sincerely,
Angela Powers
Director, A.Q. Miller School
