Texas A&M is an internationally prominent university with a global reach (including a branch campus in Doha, Qatar, and international study centers in Costa Rica and Italy), and international impact. Our close proximity to some of the nation's largest cities also provides opportunities for collaboration with media corporations and other top universities in highly diverse metropolitan areas.



The department offers the PhD, MA, and BA degrees, and has 20 tenure-track faculty members, 45 graduate students, and over 1000 undergraduate majors. Further information regarding the department is available at: http://comm.tamu.edu.

We seek candidates who can teach in a diverse and global classroom. Texas A&M ranks among the top universities nationally in total research expenditures (with more than $700 million dollars per year), and in total endowment funds. We are an equal opportunity, affirmative action employer, deeply committed to diversity, and respond to the needs of dual-career couples.
