Since our inception, the Valenti School has kept pace with the demands of the communication field by diversifying our curriculum.

Our curriculum allows students to choose a specialization based on their interests. At the undergraduate level, we offer a Bachelor of Arts in communication in one of several areas of specialization. We also offer minors in all of those areas. At the graduate level, we offer a Master of Arts degree in health communication, mass communication studies and public relations studies.

The Valenti School faculty is supported by many years of industry experience.

Our faculty, lecturers and staff all work diligently to ensure that students are prepared for their futures before ever walking across the stage and flipping their tassels. We employ full-time faculty who offer both face-to-face and virtual classes on three UH campuses: Central, Sugar Land and Northwest. Additionally, we employ lecturers from the Houston-area business community to lend their professional expertise in our classrooms each semester.

The Valenti School's Communication Technology Center (CTC) is an award-winning facility exclusive to communication students.

It is an Apple Certified Training Center that also houses three classrooms. Additionally, we have a media production studio and a control room large enough to house an entire lab section.

Our convergent learning environment allows students to take advantage of the technologies in our computer lab and media production facilities which model real-world environments. These spaces have become the heart of the school.

Valenti students are given groundbreaking opportunities in the city of Houston.

Our instruction model provides opportunities for students to apply the communication theories learned in the classroom in a practical setting. Valenti students have access to numerous community internship opportunities and build pro bono campaigns for nonprofit organizations as part of class projects. Through such work, our students join the ranks of Valenti students who are a visible, important presence in the Houston community. They are transforming the nation’s fourth largest, diverse city.

The Valenti School also offers plenty of opportunities for students to join the student chapters of communication organizations that provide networking and professional development as well as community service projects to enhance their classroom experiences.
