Abstract
This article reports a nationwide survey of communication disciplines in higher education that catalogues academic programs across the United States and Canada. Developed through an Association for Communication Administration and Association of Schools of Journalism and Mass Communication partnership, the study collected administrative questionnaires and professional association records to map curricula in journalism, media studies, public relations, speech, advertising, film, and telecommunications. It profiles institutional organization, faculty composition, student enrollment, laboratory and broadcasting facilities, and technology resources, offering a comprehensive databank for academic administration, accreditation review, and resource allocation. By presenting aggregate findings on program emphases, instructional infrastructure, and emerging educational trends, this article establishes a baseline for longitudinal analysis and provides a replicable methodology for periodic updates that will inform policy, strategic planning, and comparative scholarship.
