<p>Hello All.</p>
<p>I am a junior interested in a school with an excellent communications program or one that would help me pursue a business career in the entertainment industry. Does anyone know of any? I am also considering school outside of the US as well.
Here are my stats:
4.0 GPA Uw
5.0 w
36 ACT
300+ Comm. Service Hours
Good EC's(shows strong commitment)
Pacific Islander</p>
<p>Look at USC, UCLA, NYU, Northwestern and Brown. Loyola Marymount and Emerson College are other good options. And note that internships can be very important in gaining a good entry-level position in this area, so you could go anywhere as long as you are able to get an appropriate internship or two.</p>
<p>I would check out BC for a good safety. They have an excellent internship program, which is CRITICAL to success in that field</p>
<p>Emerson for Communications Please.</p>
<p>University of Missouri is another option.</p>
<p>Syracuse would be another good back up option. Lots of alumni involved with the entertainment industry. I'd say USC or Northwestern should probably be at the top of your list.</p>
<p>thanks for everyone's help. I will seriously consider many of those schools. celebrian, by BC do you mean Boston College?</p>
<p>Northwestern!!!</p>
<p>sorry, yes I did mean that. I guess I translate boston college=bc in my head and accidently wrote that.</p>
<p>Could I also major in International Relations to get into the career I desire? If so, which schools have the best programs?</p>
<p>anyone know?</p>
<p>brown has a strong alumni base in the entertainment industry but doesn't have much of a business program and no communications program</p>
<p>Syracuse has a lot of alum in the entertainment field. You'd be a shoo-in for admission and probably would also get merit aid.</p>
<p>LA and NYC colleges also would be good places to go because of the excellent networking.</p>
