Why Cronkite?

Once again ranked the nation’s No. 1 media school, the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University is where students become media leaders, innovative journalists, digital marketing masters, sports reporters, PR professionals, content creators, and more! Here’s how Cronkite gives students an edge:

Hands-on experience

Building media skills in the first semester, then completing an internship and an immersive capstone experience before graduation. Using 36 edit bays and hundreds of cameras, lenses and microphones to create award-winning content.

We're where the action is

The Cronkite School is just steps from the state capitol, NBC and USAToday newsrooms, the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Phoenix Suns and Mercury facilities, backlit by 300+ days of sunshine each year.
