Gustav Friedrich, Ph.D., Dean
This school was
formed in 1982 by a merger of two schools to provide academic programs
that focus on various facets of communication and information science.
The school
offers undergraduate programs of study in
communication, and journalism and mass media. Students are admitted to
the school in their junior year from the five residential
undergraduate colleges in New Brunswick: Cook, Douglass, Livingston,
Rutgers, and University Colleges. Bachelor of arts degrees are awarded
jointly by the School of Communication, Information and Library Studies
and the undergraduate college. At the graduate level, programs are
offered that lead to the degree of master of library and information
science, the master of communication and information studies, and,
jointly with the Graduate School-New Brunswick, the doctor of
philosophy degree. Courses for in-service librarians also are provided.
