Our program has consistently been ranked among the top programs in the nation. An article published in 2007 in The Chronicle of Higher Education rated our department as a Top Ten Program in the United States based on the research productivity of our faculty. Another article published in Communication Reports in 2007 ranked our program 16th in the nation among Ph.D. programs. 
In November of 2009, the faculty moved out of Switzler Hall to allow a complete overhaul of the building. From top to bottom, wall to wall, Switzler underwent a major renovation. Four large classrooms were added to the south side of the building, one per floor. In the summer of 2011, we moved back to Switzler Hall and we could not be more pleased with our new home. We not only have wonderful new office space, but we also have a new research facility and meeting space for conferences and seminars. The graduate students are housed in the "garden level" in a very uniquely designed thread of interconnecting rooms, each with garden level windows. The entire building was designed with energy efficiency and good stewardship in mind.
