Welcome Students...A Message from Director Johnson
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the School of Media & Strategic Communications
(SMSC) at Oklahoma State University! Whether you are joining us for the first time
or considering our program as a prospective student, I want you to know that you will
find a supportive community focused on empowering you to achieve your goals and make
a positive impact as a strategic communicator, no matter which of our amazing programs
you choose.
Our school brings together top faculty and industry professionals to provide a dynamic, career-focused education centered around our core values of creativity, ethics, leadership and professionalism. Our curriculum is designed to build real-world skills in areas like public relations, advertising, marketing, journalism, broadcasting, sports media and more while challenging you to think critically and strategically. You may find communication courses elsewhere, but I promise you nowhere else will prepare you with essential skills and a digital portfolio that is competitive with actual professionals when you leave. There’s a reason why people want to hire our graduates!
During your time with us, you’ll have access to state-of-the-art technology and facilities, opportunities for hands-on experience through internships and projects, as well as a chance to build your professional network. Most importantly, you’ll be part of a tight-knit, ambitious community united around making communications matter in serving businesses, communities and societies around the world.

I invite you to explore everything our one-of-a-kind school has to offer. We are thrilled to have you join our SMSC Cowboy family as we equip a new generation of strategic communication leaders. Come see why our students love the faculty and the friends they create in SMSC. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions! But you might find me on the sidelines at Cowboy football games helping students learn how to cover the games.
Sincerely,
Dr. Jared Johnson, Director—School of Media & Strategic Communications
