New students are encouraged to schedule a visit to Kent State University and the College of Communication and Information (CCI) to learn about the campus, our schools and majors.
Parking for all of these programs is in the Kent Student Center Parking Lot off Summit Street. Tell the parking attendant you are on campus for a college visitation program. See the Campus Map for directions and a map of campus.
For general questions about college and school visits, contact Debra Lamm in the Dean's Office of the College of Communication and Information at 330-672-2950 or dlamm@kent.edu.
We recommend interested high school students schedule a CCI Info Session, which includes specific information about Communication Studies and the College of Communication and Information. Register below, or explore other types of visits.

Our students select from coursework in digital technology, web development, digital film and media production, broadcast journalism, multimedia journalism, design communication, photography, photojournalism, communication studies, public relations, advertising, user experience design (UXD), human-computer interaction and more.
