Through the Center for Environmental Journalism the school seeks to enrich and elevate the quality, range and significance of media coverage of environmental issues. The CEJ is home to the prestigious Ted Scripps Fellowships in Environmental Journalism, which provide working journalists with a one-year opportunity to deepen their understanding of environmental science, policy, law and journalism.

The Center for Media, Religion and Culture is a clearinghouse of information for those interested in exploring the intersection of religious and media-related practices in the everyday lives of contemporary adults and their families.

The School recently inaugurated its first named chair, endowed by CU alumnus James E. de Castro, for research on Global and International Media. Faculty members offer courses in international and global media as part of the School's undergraduate, master's and doctoral programs.
