At Moody College, we are converging worlds, creating futures
Communication is our most fundamental skill. It is humanity’s root behavior, a connective fiber that weaves relationships, binds organizations and unites cultures.
Before the turn of the 20th century, The University of Texas at Austin made the commitment to examine and practice communication as the vital force it is. At every turn, every shift in media, the Moody College of Communication has loomed large as a pioneer, as a producer of confident, prepared thinkers and leaders.
Today, the power of Moody College is in its collective community of doers. Together, we push forward, and together, we pursue the bold visions and brilliant solutions that influence how the world connects.
