O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs

Only for students admitted to IU Indianapolis prior to fall 2022.

The media and public affairs major, believed to be the first of its kind in the United States, teaches students when and how to deploy traditional and new media tools to achieve the goals of their communities, nonprofit organizations, or businesses. Classes are an interdisciplinary mix of public affairs (e.g., government finance and budget, political action, civic engagement), journalism (e.g., public relations, visual communications), political science (e.g., voting, elections, modern political thought), informatics, and liberal arts.
