Brian Lamb School of Communication - Purdue University

In the Brian Lamb School of Communication, our students are empowered to excel. Granted, it’s not an easy path. You should expect to be challenged every step of the way. But our world-class faculty, alumni, facilities and industry connections help you not only recognize your goals, but realize them. We offer serious degrees for students who are seriously committed to asking the tough questions, uncovering truths and insights and inspiring future generations of communication professionals. Since 1907, educators at Purdue University have been teaching communication theory and strategies. With the formation of the Department of Communication in 1947, innovators in the discipline of communication established the foundation for Purdue’s more than 70-year track record for world-changing research that moves the world forward. Lamb School undergrads choose from concentrations in General Communication, Corporate Communication, Human Relations, Mass Communication and Public Relations and Strategic Communication. The Lamb School offers tailored on-campus Master's and Ph.D. programs that fit each graduate student’s academic interests and professional goals with concentrations in Health Communication, Interpersonal Communication, Organizational Communication, Public Relations and Media, Technology and Society. Our online M.S. program is designed for busy professionals who can choose to focus on Integrated Communication and Advertising or Strategic Communication and Public Relations. The people of the Lamb School make us practically amazing as we continue our tradition of research and teaching excellence by not only building on the work of the scholars and educators who have come before us but by finding our own paths and solving problems that haven’t even been named yet. The Lamb School thrives because of the people who make up our team. The Lamb School is filled with leaders who are passionate about the future of communication and communicators.
