2010 Annual Survey of Journalism & Mass Communication Enrollments

JOURNALISM & MASS COMMUNICATION EDUCATOR 300

Undergraduate enrollments injournalism and mass communicationprograms in the United States increas-ed by 2.0% in the autumn of 2010,reversing the slowdown in growth thelast two years.

At the same time, freshman andsophomore enrollments were staticcompared with a year earlier, suggest-ing that the growth may be temporaryunless transfers into the major in thenext few years compensate.

Graduate level enrollments in-creased in the autumn of 2010 com-

Undergraduate enrollments in U.S. journalism and mass communication pro-grams increased by 2.0% in the autumn of 2010, a reverse in a two-year slow-down, but perhaps temporary. Graduate level enrollments increased 6.3% indoctoral programs and a dramatic 13.4% in master’s programs.

tumn of 2010. The percentage of stu-dents enrolled in journalism hasdropped 6.6% since as recently as2007. Despite that, about a quarter ofthe students are still in that specialty,and it remains the largest in the field.

Students classified as members ofa racial or ethnic minority made up alarger percentage of enrolled studentsin journalism and mass communica-tion programs in the autumn of 2010than at any point in the history of thefield. At the undergraduate level,36.3% of the students were classifiedas racial or ethnic minorities.

Journalism and mass communica-tion programs reported engaging in anumber of strategies to update theskills of their faculties to deal with dig-ital media, from sending them to train-ing programs to hiring permanent andadjunct professors with those skills.

Nine in ten of the administratorsof journalism and mass communica-tion programs reported that they aredealing with big challenges, and one inthree of those with challenges saidthey are associated with budgets andfinancing.

These are the key findings of the2010 Annual Survey of Journalism &Mass Communication Enrollments,designed to measure trends in journal-ism and mass communication educa-tion.1

The methods used in the AnnualSurvey of Journalism & Mass Commu-nication Enrollments have remainedunchanged since 1988. Schools includ-ed in this survey are listed in eitherthe Journalism & Mass CommunicationDirectory, published by the Associa-tion for Education in Journalism and

Mass Communication, or The Journ-alist’s Road to Success: A CareerGuide, formerly published and printedby the Dow Jones News Fund, Inc., andnow available online. All degree-grant-ing senior colleges and universitieswith courses organized under thelabels of journalism and mass commu-nication are invited to be listed in theAEJMC Directory. To be included inthe Guide, the college or universitymust offer at least ten courses in news-editorial journalism, and those coursesmust include core courses, such as anintroduction to the mass media andpress law and ethics, as well as basicskills courses, such as reporting andediting. Since 1992, the two journalismprograms listed in the AEJMCDirectory in Puerto Rico have beenincluded in the population.

A combination of these two direc-tories produced 483 listings in 2010. InOctober 2010, a questionnaire wasmailed to the administrator of each ofthese programs. A second mailing ofthis questionnaire was sent to the non-responding schools in December. Athird mailing was sent to the non-responding schools in January of 2011.In February, the administrators weresent a fourth mailing. In each mailing,administrators were given the chanceto return a written form via mail ordownload a form from a website andreturn it electronically. The 258 admin-istrators of the programs who had notresponded by the beginning of Aprilwere contacted by telephone and askedto answer as many questions over thetelephone as possible. Two of the 483schools reported that their programswere no longer active.

Administrators were given theoption of returning a printed form viathe regular mail, returning a down-

loadable form by mail or as an attach-ment to an e-mail message, or complet-ing the form online. In the end, only 48,or 10.0%, completed the form online.

The questionnaire asked theadministrators to provide informationon total enrollments in autumn of2010, enrollment by year in school,enrollment by sequence of study,enrollment by gender, and enrollmentby racial or ethnic group. In addition,administrators were asked to indicatethe number and type of degrees grantedin the 2009-2010 academic year,degrees granted by sequence of study,degrees granted by gender, and degreesgranted by racial group. The question-naire also asked about tuition and fees,skills taught in the curricula, facultysize, faculty characteristics, and facultyhiring.

Data were obtained for all of the481 active programs in the population.This is two programs fewer than in2009, when the survey included thelargest number of journalism and masscommunication programs since 1987.That was the first year in which thepopulation for the Annual Survey ofJournalism & Mass CommunicationEnrollments was defined via theNewspaper Fund listing and AEJMCDirectory. Of the 481 returns, 342 werefor programs listed in both directories,92 were only in the AEJMC listing, and47 were only in the Dow Jones Guide.

As in the past, there was great vari-ability in the detail and precision of theinformation administrators provided.Some administrators answered everyquestion, while others answered only afew. Data on degrees offered and onenrollments at the bachelor’s, master’s,and doctoral level were obtained fromall of the 481 programs. Of all theseprograms, 477 offered bachelor’s de-

gree programs, 215 offered master’sdegree programs, and 50 offered doc-toral programs. Data on degrees grant-ed at the undergraduate level wereobtained for 439 of the 477 undergrad-uate programs, or 92.0%. For master’sprograms, the number was 180 of 215,or 83.7%. Forty-six of the 50 doctoralprograms reported number of degreesgranted, or 92.0%.

Data from the program administra-tors that were not obtained online weremanually entered into a data file. Anyinconsistencies in the original docu-ments that were noted were corrected,sometimes by eliminating obviouslyerroneous information. All manualentry of data was then proofed againstthe original form. Reports by programadministrators that were not clearly inerror were taken as accurate. Thesedata were then merged with the onlinedata.

The AEJMC Directory lists mem-bership of the Association of Schools ofJournalism and Mass Communication(ASJMC) and accreditation by theAccrediting Council on Education inJournalism and Mass Communications(ACEJMC). This information wasincluded in the data file. The mostcomplete data were available for the114 accredited programs.2 In general,less complete data were available forthe 80 schools that are members ofASJMC but not accredited by ACEJMC.The 287 schools without accreditationor ASJMC membership had the leastcomplete data. In general, these latterschools are smaller than the accreditedor ASJMC-affiliated schools.

These two characteristics—accred-itation and ASJMC membership—serveas ways of differentiating the 481 jour-nalism and mass communication pro-grams in the population. As was the


case in recent years, these two charac-teristics were used in 2010 to makeprojections based on the data reported.Data from the reporting accreditedschools were used to estimate charac-teristics of the accredited schools forwhich there was any missing informa-tion. Similarly, statistical means fromthe nonaccredited ASJMC schoolswere used to estimate missing data forsimilar schools, and data from thenonaccredited schools not affiliatedwith ASJMC were used to estimatemissing data for those programs. Theoverall estimates, then, were based oncomplete information and best approx-imations about data not reported.3

U.S. journalism and mass commu-nication programs enrolled 221,077students in the autumn of 2010, anincrease of 2.7% from a year earlier.The 481 programs had 204,577 stu-dents enrolled at the bachelor’s degreelevel, an increase of 2.0% from theautumn of 2009, and 16,500 studentsseeking a graduate degree. Graduateenrollments were up 12.6% from ayear earlier, with master’s level enroll-ment (14,755) up 13.4% and doctorallevel enrollment (1,725) up 6.3% froma year earlier.

The increase in enrollments inthese journalism and mass communi-cation programs follows two years inwhich enrollments were largely stag-nant. Enrollment had increased 0.8%from the autumn of 2007 to theautumn of 2008 and declined 0.5%from the autumn of 2008 to theautumn of 2009. The rate of growth inenrollments in 2011 was the largestsince enrollments grew by 5.0% from2002 to 2003.

The number of students enrolledas seniors in 2010 was 4.5% more thanin the autumn of 2009, and the numberof juniors was up 1.9% from a year ear-lier. The number of sophomores wasonly 0.1% higher than a year earlier,and the number of students enrolled atthe freshman level was actually flatfrom a year earlier. This suggests thatthe growth in enrollments in 2010might be the exception, with flat en-rollments on the horizon.

It is impossible to know howmany students will transfer into or outof journalism and mass communica-tion programs during the 2011-2012academic year, however, making pre-dictions based on the 2010 enrollmentlevels difficult. Nationally, acrossmajors, enrollments at the undergradu-ate and graduate levels are expected toshow only slight growth for the nextfew years before experiencing moredramatic growth at the middle of thedecade.4 As Figure 1 shows, under-graduate enrollments have grown year-to-year, with the exception of 2009,since 1993. Master’s level enrollmentshave a more uneven pattern of growth.Doctoral enrollments have grownslowly but more consistently acrosstime. The numbers of studentsenrolled in the autumn of 2010 at thebachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral levelwere the largest ever going back to1988, when the current populationdefinition was employed in the enroll-ment survey.

The percentage of enrolled under-graduates who were studying someform of journalism was 25.3 in theautumn of 2010, the lowest level inmore than a decade. In 2009, 28.3% ofthe enrolled undergraduate had aprint, broadcast, or undifferentiatedjournalism specialization, and that fig-

ure had been 29.3% a year earlier and31.9% in the autumn of 2007. The cat-egory of digital journalism was addedto the survey in 2010, and 0.8% of thestudents were classified with thatmajor, compared with 3.4% in printjournalism, 6.2% in broadcast journal-ism, and 14.9% in journalism undiffer-entiated. The 3.4% enrollment level forprint journalism is the lowest everrecorded, compared with 8.9% asrecently as 2007 and 12.3% in 1989.Broadcast journalism enrollments haveremained more stable. The 6.2% figurefor 2010 compares with 7.8% in 2007and 9.1% in 1989.

Despite the drop in enrollmentsin the journalism specialization, itremains the dominant area of study forjournalism and mass communicationstudents. Public relations programsenrolled 12.5% of the undergraduate

students in the autumn of 2010 andadvertising enrolled 7.0%. Telecom-munications majors (not countingbroadcast journalism) made up 4.1% ofthe majors. Overall, administratorshave become less likely to use the tra-ditional labels to describe their pro-grams over time, but an examination ofthe terms used to replace them suggeststhat the differences are more in termsof terminology than in terms of curricu-lum. Many of the programs classifiedas not fitting the traditional categoriesof journalism, advertising, and tele-communication could easily have beenso classified.

The 481 programs included in thesurvey represent a decrease of two fromthe count, based on the same popula-tion definition, in 2009. Administratorsof two programs listed in the directo-ries said their programs no longer exist-

ed or included journalism and masscommunication programs. Of those481 programs, 477 offer a bachelor’sdegree, down from 478 in 2009, and215 offered a master’s degree, up from210 in 2009. A total of 50 programsindicated they were operating orinvolved in a doctoral program, upfrom 46 a year earlier.

The largest two programs in termsof undergraduate enrollments in theautumn of 2010 were both inPennsylvania. They were TempleUniversity with 3,912 enrolled stu-dents, followed by Pennsylvania StateUniversity with 3,327. The thirdlargest program was Michigan StateUniversity with 2,930 students.Emerson College in Boston had 2,794,putting it in fourth position, followedby Middle Tennessee State Universitywith 2,717 enrolled undergraduates.Filling out the top ten in terms ofundergraduate enrollments were Cali-fornia State University, Fullerton, with2,600 students; University of Alabamawith 2,279; University of Florida with2,193; University of Missouri with2,074; and Ball State University inIndiana with 2,023 students at thebachelor’s level.

Emerson College had the largestnumber of students enrolled in a mas-ter’s level journalism and mass com-munication program with 542, fol-lowed by Northwestern University inIllinois with 450 students, Universityof Sacred Heart in Puerto Rico with400, West Virginia University with400, and American University inWashington with 376. Other top tenmaster’s programs in terms of enroll-ments were at Webster University inMissouri with 373 students, ColumbiaUniversity in New York with 371,Michigan State University with 344,

Syracuse University with 300, andBoston University with 295.

The largest doctoral program wasat Michigan State University, with90 enrolled students, followed byGeorgia State University with 76,Purdue University in Indiana with 75,University of Florida with 72, andPennsylvania State University with 60doctoral students. The University ofTexas at Austin and the University ofWisconsin at Madison share the sixthposition; they both had 55 doctoral stu-dents enrolled in the autumn of 2010.Bowling Green State University had54, Regent University in Virginia had53, and Wayne State University inMichigan and University of Alabamaboth had 52, putting them together intenth position in terms of size of doc-toral programs.

Enrollment figures for all pro-grams included in the survey areshown in the Appendix.

Journalism and mass communica-tion programs in the United Statesgranted 57,242 degrees in academicyear 2009-2010, an increase of 3.0%from the previous year. The number ofbachelor’s degrees granted was 51,553,up 1.4% from a year earlier, while thenumber of master’s degrees stood at5,443, up 20.2% from 2008-2009. Thenumber of doctoral degrees grantedwas down just slightly from the previ-ous year. In 2009-2010, these programsreported granting 246 degrees, down1.6% from the 250 of a year earlier.

The field of journalism and masscommunication continues to be domi-nated by its undergraduate programs,and the degrees granted reflect this. In2009-2010, 90.1% of the degrees grant-

Degrees Granted

ed were at the undergraduate level. Thefigure is down from the year before,when 91.5% of the degrees grantedwere at the undergraduate level. In fact,the ratio in 2009-2010 was the lowest ithas been since 1997-1998, when 89.7%of the degrees granted were at theundergraduate level.

The ranking of programs by num-ber of degrees granted does not alwaysreflect the ranking of enrollmentsbecause many programs do not countstudents as enrolled until they reachthe sophomore or junior level. In 2009-2010, the largest program in terms ofbachelor’s degrees granted wasPennsylvania State University with1,033 bachelor’s degrees granted, fol-lowed by Michigan State Universitywith 953, Temple University with 925,the University of Florida with 769, andEmerson College in Boston with 671.Other schools on the top ten list interms of number of bachelor’s degreesgranted were Boston University with653, the University of Georgia with559, Ohio State University with 553,the University of Central Florida with507, and the University of Alabamawith 497.

The largest master’s degree pro-gram in terms of degrees granted in2009-2010 was Columbia University inNew York with 358 degrees granted.Columbia was followed by EmersonCollege in Boston with 276 master’sdegree recipients, Northwestern Uni-versity in Illinois with 261, SyracuseUniversity with 225, and BostonUniversity with 179. The remainingfive schools on the list were AmericanUniversity in Washington with 168master’s degree granted, the Universityof Southern California with 128,Virginia Commonwealth Universitywith 120, New York University with

118, and the University of Missouri inColumbia with 111.

Regent University in Virginia re-ported the largest number of doctoraldegrees granted among the journalismand mass communication programs,with 17. The next largest programswere at Michigan State University with14 doctoral degrees granted in 2009-2010, the University of Alabama with13, the University of Kentucky with 11,and the University of New Mexico with11. The University of Washington andthe University of Wisconsin Madisonboth granted 10 doctoral degrees in2009-2010. In the number eight slotwas Purdue University with 10. TheUniversity of Missouri at Columbiagranted 8, as did the University ofIllinois, the University of MarylandCommunication Department, the Uni-versity of North Dakota, and BowlingGreen State University.

The number of degrees granted forall programs that reported those dataare shown in the Appendix.

As was explained in the methodol-ogy section of this report, the popula-tion for the Annual Survey of Journ-alism & Mass Communication Enroll-ments is defined by the listing in theDirectory of the Association forEducation in Journalism and MassCommunication and the Dow JonesNews Fund Career Guide. Other uni-versities around the country also grantcommunication degrees. Many of theseare smaller. Many are dominated bycurricula not tied to professional jour-nalism. Many have limited focus on theeducation and training of communica-tion professionals.

One way to monitor these pro-grams is through the IntegratedPostsecondary Education Data System(IPEDS) based on data gathered by the


U.S. National Center for EducationStatistics (NCES).5 NCES uses a Classi-fication of Instructional Programs (CIP)to list on a yearly basis all degreesgranted by universities in the UnitedStates. CIP codes were modified for the2009-2010 filings, but two broad cate-gories, Communication, Journalismand Related Programs (09) andCommunications Technologies/Tech-nicians and Support Services (10)remained. A third category, EnglishLanguage and Literature/Letters (23),also contained a subcategory, 23.1001,called Speech and Rhetorical Studies.That category was eliminated for the2009-2010 filing. It was replaced by acategory called Rhetoric and Compo-sition, with the number 23.1304. Andthe 09.0101 subcategory category, for-merly called Communication Studies/Speech Communication & Rhetoric, is

now called simply Speech Commu-nication and Rhetoric. Five other newsubcategories were added to the (09)CIP code. No changes were made insubcategories of the (10) CIP code.

Universities decide on their ownhow to use the CIP codes, and thechange in the 23.1001 to 23.1304 sub-catories seems to have dramaticallyaltered how universities apply thatclassification. The counts for degreesgranted were much higher in the newcategory than the old. For that reason,the data only for the CIP 09 and 10 cat-egories are shown in Figure 2, alongwith comparable data from the AnnualSurvey of Journalism & Mass Commu-nication Enrollments. In 2009-2010,according to the IPEDS data, programsaround the country granted 89,833bachelor’s degrees under the Commu-nication (09) and Communication

IPEDS and Annual Survey Estimates

Technologies (10) CIP classification.This is an increase of 3.6% from a yearearlier. Some of that growth mightreflect the change in the classificationscheme, but the figure compares with a2.4% growth rate of a year earlier and a3.3% growth rate from 2006-2007 to2007-2008. The growth rate of 3.6%also compares with the 1.4% figure forthe programs included in the AnnualSurvey of Journalism & Mass Commu-nication, indicating, as was true inrecent years, that growth is stronger incommunication studies generally thanin the narrower journalism and masscommunication curricula.

A more complex picture emergesfrom the IPEDS counts of degrees grant-ed at the master’s (Figure 3) and doc-toral (Figure 4) levels. At the master’s

level, based on the IPEDS counts of the09 and 10 CIP codes, degrees grantedincreased from 7,612 in 2008-2009 to8,140 in 2009-2010, or by 6.9%. Thegrowth rate in the schools included inthe Annual Survey of Journalism &Mass Communication Enrollments was21.4%, but more schools were countedin the most recent survey than a yearearlier. At the doctoral level, based onthe IPEDS data for the 09 and 10 CIPcodes, degrees granted increased from535 to 576, or by 7.7%. The enrollmentsurvey showed a decline in degreesgranted of 1.6%.

The overall picture from both theIPEDS and annual survey data is thatthe field of communication studies isin a period of growth. At the under-graduate level, that growth seems to be

more robust outside the traditionalconfines of journalism and mass com-munication.

As in the past, women made upthe majority of students enrolled injournalism and mass communicationprograms at both the undergraduateand graduate level. Of those in bache-lor’s degree programs, 63.5% werewomen in the autumn of 2010, a figurelargely unchanged back to the autumnof 2006. The current percentage isdown from 64.5% in 2005 and 64.9%in 2004–the highest percentage record-ed back to at least 1988. Women madeup 67.6% of the enrolled students injournalism and mass communication

master’s degree programs in theautumn of 2010. That figure has beennearly the same for the last three years.At the doctoral level, women were57.1% of those enrolled, consistentwith figures in recent years. Womenearned 64.8% of the bachelor’s degreesgranted in academic year 2009-2010.They earned 67.9% of the master’s de-grees and 62.4% of the doctoraldegrees.

Students classified as members ofracial or ethnic minorities made up36.3% of those enrolled in journalismand mass communication undergradu-ate programs in the autumn of 2010.That is the highest percentage recordedin the enrollment survey back to 1988.The figure has been increasing inrecent years and compares with 28.2%

Hispanics made up10.4% of the enrolled students, anincrease from 7.0% a year earlier, andAfrican Americans made up 14.5% ofthe enrolled students, down from the15.4% of a year earlier but up from13.4% in 2008 and 11.9% in 2007.Included in the figure for minority stu-dents are international students, whoonly made up 1.5% of those enrolled injournalism and mass communicationbachelor’s degree programs.

At the master’s level, students clas-sified as members of racial and ethnicminorities made up 42.6% of enrolledstudents, compared with 41.6% record-ed a year earlier. The 2010 figure is thehighest ever recorded in the enrollmentsurvey. Hispanic students were 7.4% ofthose enrolled, and African-Americanstudents were 11.3%. International stu-dents accounted for 11.7% of the en-rolled students, up from 10.0% a yearearlier.

At the doctoral level, 43.2% of theenrolled students were members ofracial or ethnic minorities. That figureis actually down from a year earlier,when 46.8% of the students in doctor-al programs were so classified. Theminority classification also includes24.5% international students. Hispanicstudents were only 3.2% of the en-rolled students, a figure nearly identi-cal with that of a year earlier, andAfrican-American students were 4.9%,down from 7.2% a year earlier.

Of bachelor’s degrees granted injournalism and mass communicationprograms in academic year 2009-2010,27.8% were to members of racial andethnic minorities. That figure was near-ly the same last year, when it was thehighest previously recorded in theenrollment survey. At the master’slevel, 38.3% of the degrees granted

were to racial or ethnic minorities.That figure is lower than a year earlier,when the highest figure had beenrecorded. The change is due largely toa drop in degrees granted to interna-tional students. At the doctoral level,45.1% of the degrees granted were toracial or ethnic minorities, againincluding international students. Thatfigure also is a drop from a year earlier,due in part to a decline in the numberof international students receiving doc-toral degrees.

The number of full-time facultymembers teaching in journalism andmass communication programs in theautumn of 2010 stood at 7,149, up from6,725 a year earlier. The number ofpart-time faculty in the autumn of 2010was 5,162, up from 4,820 a year earlier.The growth in faculty for the 2010-2011 academic year followed declinesboth in full-time and part-time facultyin 2009-2010 from the year before.The number of part-time faculty alsodeclined in 2008-2009, and in 2007-2008, and the 5,162 figure is still belowthe 5,360 figure for 2006-2007.

Journalism and mass communica-tion programs were less likely to reportthey were under a faculty hiring freezein academic year 2010-2011 than a yearearlier. In the autumn of 2010, 24.2% ofthe programs reported they were undera faculty hiring freeze, compared with29.1% a year earlier.

A third (35.6%) of the administra-tors said they had hired a permanentfaculty member to teach in the digitalmedia area in the last year as part oftheir strategy to upgrade their faculty(Figure 5). And 55.9% said they had

hired adjunct faculty in the digitalmedia area. Six in ten (60.7%) reportedthat they had sent faculty to digitalmedia training courses or programs sothey could improve their skills in thearea. Administrators also reported giv-ing faculty time off or summer com-pensation so they could learn digitalskills (15.6%), used digital mediaskills as criteria for promotion (12.1%),highlighted accomplishments and pos-itive examples of faculty improve-ments in the digital area (59.8%), andhired technical staff to offer support fordigital instruction (26.3%).

Budgets overall were slightlymore favorable in 2010 than a year ear-lier. In 2010, 31.2% of the programsreported they had a decrease in operat-

ing budgets, compared with 39.1%reporting a decrease a year earlier. In2010, only 14.8% of the programsreported an increase in operating budg-ets, and that figure had been 16.3% ayear earlier.

The discussion of merger of com-munication programs increased slight-ly in the academic year leading up to2010-2011. In the autumn of 2010,11.8% of the administrators reportedthat there had been serious discussionabout combining their programs withanother on campus during the previ-ous year. That figure had been 9.5% ayear earlier. And 3.5% of the adminis-trators in the autumn of 2010 reportedserious discussion of elimination oftheir programs during the prior aca-

The 2010 enrollment survey askedadministrators to indicate the biggestchallenges facing their unit today orthe issues that they are grapplingwith most intensively. Of those whoresponded, nine in ten said they werefacing big challenges and issues. Andof those, budget issues were the mostoften mentioned (Figure 6)—by 36.7%of those listing a challenge or problem.New faculty and courses were listed asa need by 13.8% of those responding,and the need for new technology waslisted by 8.0%. Hiring, enrollmentdeclines, changes in curricula, assess-ment, and enrollment increases alsowere mentioned.

Enrollments in journalism andmass communication programs seemlikely to continue to grow in futureyears. The overall pattern is of growthgoing back for a decade and a half, anduniversity enrollments across the boardare expected to grow in the nextdecade. A cautionary note is that fresh-man and sophomore enrollments werestatic in 2010 compared with a yearearlier, suggesting that growth in theshort term is likely to depend on trans-fers into the field at the upper divisionlevels. Also of note is the decrease ininterest on the part of enrolled studentsin the journalism specialization. Thisis the historical heart of the field.Growth is likely to be dependent on arevitalization of interest in journalismwithin some different curriculum andcontinued expansion of curricularoffers outside the journalism core.

Graduate enrollment in the field,dominated by enrollment at the mas-

ter’s level, has had an erratic pattern ofgrowth over the last decade. The dra-matic growth in the autumn of 2010compared with a year earlier is unlike-ly to be repeated if past growth patternsare to be the guide. The economydrives graduate enrollments acrossfields, as many who cannot find jobsafter undergraduate studies stay inschool and others who lost jobs orfound them unfulfilling return foradvanced degrees. And it is difficult toguess at this writing what the economyis going to do in the next months.Across fields, graduate enrollments areexpected to continue to grow across thedecade.

One of the most encouragingfindings of the 2010 enrollment surveyis the growth in enrollments of stu-dents classified as members of racialor ethnic minority groups. These stu-dents made up a larger percentage ofenrolled students in journalism andmass communication programs inthe autumn of 2010 than at any point inthe history of the field. At the under-graduate level, 36.3% of the studentswere classified as racial or ethnicminorities.

Administrators of journalism andmass communication programs report-ed that they are engaging in a numberof strategies to update the skills oftheir faculties to deal with digitalmedia, from sending them to trainingprograms to hiring permanent andadjunct professors with those skills.Certainly the biggest long-term chal-lenge facing these administrators isadaptation of their curricula to theevolving labor market and to the needsof society generally. In a time when hir-ing is constrained by static or decliningbudgets, when faculties are aging, andwhen no one is really certain of the


Concluding Comments

needed skill sets of future faculty, thechallenge is daunting.

It is unlikely that anyone can makea convincing case that the study ofcommunication and that the skills ofcommunication are anything but cru-cial for the future. At least a hint of dis-content with how journalism and masscommunication programs are respond-ing to the changes in the communica-tion landscape, however, are in evi-dence in the 2010 enrollment survey.The discussion of program mergersand elimination remains at a low level,but it is increasing. That should serveas a sobering warning to the field andoffset some of the rightful satisfactionwith current enrollment growth andwith the increased diversity of thosepursuing study in the field.
