The Moody College of Communication is the communication college at The University of Texas at Austin. The college was established in 1965 in an effort to consolidate all Communication Studies under one roof including ''the Department of Public Speaking (1899)'', ''School of Journalism (1914)'', and independent ''department of Radio-Television-Film (1921)''.〔 The Moody College is home to one of the country's top film programs〔 as well as a Journalism department which consistently produces one of the nations' best college newspapers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Exemplary College Newspapers )〕 It offers Bachelor of Science degrees in several communications disciplines as well as offering a robust postgraduate curriculum. The Moody College of Communication finds a brand new home in the Belo Center for New Media, which opened in November 2012. ==History== The Department of Public Speaking, now the Department of Communication Studies, at UT Austin was established in 1899, and the School of Journalism began in 1914 moving into its own building in 1952. An early interest in broadcasting on campus resulted in the formation of the Department of Radio-Television-Film. In 1921, a radio station was established to conduct experimental work in radio communication, and by the 1930s what was probably the first television broadcast in Texas originated on the campus. The first degree program in broadcasting began in 1939. Established in 1941 with the founding of The University of Texas at Austin Speech and Hearing Clinic and the introduction of coursework leading to Texas Education Agency certification, the program of Communication Sciences and Disorders is the oldest program of its kind in the state of Texas.〔 In 1965, the School of Journalism, the Department of Speech, and a newly formed Department of Radio-Television-Film became the three departments officially organized as the School of Communication. In that same year, the accredited sequence of advertising in the Department of Journalism was established as a separate Department of Advertising. Originally housed in the Department of Speech Communication, a separate Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders was established in 1998.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Our History )〕 In the 1990s and early 2000s, Austin had become a filmmaking hub due in part to several Communications alumni including Robert Rodriguez and Richard Linklater leading many people in the industry to begin calling Austin the "Third Coast" for film. This has spurred the Radio-Television-Film department on to national recognition,〔 while also giving students more opportunities for internships and jobs after matriculation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title =Why UT? )〕 On November 7, 2013, the Moody Foundation of Galveston announced a $50 million commitment to establish the Moody College of Communication at The University of Texas at Austin, resulting in the largest endowment for the study of communication of any public university in the nation. In 2014, a $10 million fundraising campaign renamed the Department of Advertising and Public Relations as the Stan Richards School of Advertising and Public Relations, named in honor of Stan Richards, founder of Dallas-based advertising agency The Richards Group, largest independently owned agency in the United States.〔http://www.utexas.edu/news/2014/08/29/stan-richards-advertising-public-relations/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Moody College of Communication」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
