Communication and Journalism Department
Communicate Effectively and Strategically
Your education in the Communication and Journalism Department at UWEC will cover everything from public relations and advertising to journalism and organizational communication. Because there is always a demand for communication, our programs work to prepare you for more than just your first job. Our graduates work as editors, marketing specialists, account managers, and more. Some even go on to practice law and serve as elected officials.
Majors and Minors in Communication and Journalism
With a degree in communication and journalism, the possibilities are endless. Blugolds are assisted, encouraged, and empowered to find the right fit for them within our various degree offerings.
Meet the Faculty
Within our department, Blugolds get the opportunity to learn while gaining direct experience with community organizations. Each year, Blugolds take what they’re learning in the classroom and use that knowledge to develop campaigns and communication plans. Those plans are later implemented in the Eau Claire community and beyond — providing unmatched, real-world experience for Blugolds.
The Ann Devroy Memorial Fund is dedicated to the memory of Ann Devroy, a UW-Eau Claire journalism graduate and respected journalist often described as one of the best reporters ever to cover the White House.
The Devroy family’s generosity supports the Devroy Fellowship as well as the the Devroy Forum, which annually brings journalists of national prominence to UW-Eau Claire.

Blugold Stories
I think how many opportunities there were at UWEC surprised me. It's not a super big campus, but how many different countries you can study abroad in, how many research opportunities there are, how many on-campus jobs you can find, how many internships you can get connected to — you can have so many great experiences here.
UW-Eau Claire has helped me prepare for my future endeavors, provided me with friendships, and allowed me the unique experience of studying abroad.
