Contents
Journalism program
The Grady College consists of three departments: Advertising and Public Relations, Journalism, and Mass Media Arts. The college provides instruction at the undergraduate and graduate levels in public relations, advertising, broadcast news, magazines, newspapers, new services, photojournalism, publication management, telecommunications, and new media. Since 1935 the students at Grady College have produced the student written, student edited magazine the UGAzine, which is printed in the UGA printshop. The student magazine is solely self-sufficient and sustains itself by advertising revenue. Due to the increase in advertising revenue in the past years and the subsequent evolution into a 4 color publication, the UGAzine has become a prominent and respected fixture on the UGA campus.

- Bachelor of Arts in Journalism (A.B.J.)
- Bachelor of Arts in Advertising (A.B.J.)

Namesake
The college was named after alumnus Henry Woodfin Grady. After graduating from the University of Georgia with a bachelor's degree in 1868, he left Athens and worked for several different newspapers. The combination of Henry W. Grady's alumni status, his editorial position and his Athens birth, motivated the renaming of the journalism school at the University of Georgia.[3]
Deans
Steadman V. Sanford taught the first journalism course at UGA in 1913, established the University's journalism school in 1921, and served as the journalism school’s director until becoming the president of Franklin College and later dean of the University in 1926.[citation needed] John E. Drewry, the second graduate of the journalism program in 1922, succeeded founder S. V. Sanford as director of the journalism school and accepted the position of dean when it was created in 1940.[citation needed] That same year Sanford helped create the Peabody Awards.
