The Graduate School of Journalism, sometimes referred to as the J-School, is Columbia's journalism school.
Appropriately enough, it is located in Journalism Hall.
History
The journalism school was opened in 1912 with a gift given ten years earlier by Joseph Pulitzer. According to legend, the trustees thought this was a somewhat nutty idea, but on Pulitzer's insistence, the school was created anyway. In its early years, it was referred to as the "Pulitzer School". It has gone on to become among the top journalism schools (if not the top such school) in the United States.
Pulitzer would also endow the eponymous Pulitzer Prize, which are awarded each year by the J-School in a ceremony held in the Low Library Rotunda.
