Message from the Dean

I am pleased that you are reading this catalog and thus demonstrating an interest in learning more about the graduate programs at the School of Communication, Information and Library Studies at Rutgers. There has never been a more exciting time for individuals with scholarly interests in the interdisciplinary study of communication, media, and library and information science.

As you will learn in this catalog, the goal of our graduate programs is to develop individuals with specialized competence who understand where their skills and knowledge fit within the larger context of an interdisciplinary view of communication, media, and library and information science. The areas of specialized competence offered by our programs include library science, information structures and systems, communication processes (including interpersonal, organizational, and mediated), information policy and institutions, and journalism and media studies. Two master's programs, one in library and information science and one in communication and information studies, as well as a Ph.D. program in communication, information, and library studies, are available.

Students who enter our programs work with faculty members who are internationally recognized scholars and teachers, and with talented and dedicated support staff, to achieve their greatest potential. As a result, graduates of our programs are placed in excellent positions, both nationally and internationally, in academic, business, and industrial settings. Please read the catalog, visit us both in person and at our web site (www.scils.rutgers.edu), and ask current students and alumni about our programs. I believe that you will find us a community of scholars who enjoy and excel at educating individuals who make lasting contributions to the interdisciplinary study of communication, media, and library and information science.

Cordially,

Gustav W. Friedrich
Dean
