<p>I recently got accepted to both Berkeley and UCLA as a transfer.</p>
<p>I'm interested in pursuing Mass Communications at Berkeley. What do you think about the major? Is it hard to get into mass comm. at Berkeley? Are the upper-division courses difficult? </p>
<p>I'm also curious if anyone knows which school (between Berkeley and UCLA) has the better communications program, as well...</p>
<p>Here is a free bump, since I am also interested in this topic. A few additional questions:</p>
<p>1) Is comm an impacted major at Berkeley? It is supposedly THE most impacted major at UCLA, partially because of the size of the department relative to the size of the school.</p>
<p>2) Where can I find out more about the department? Its web site is pathetically inadequate in every respect that could be useful to an undergrad. No, I don't need a list of courses I can take, but some understanding of the educational philosophy, opportunities for undergrads, practical vs theoretical inclinations, focus on analysis of comm vs producing comm, etc. (<a href="http://ls.berkeley.edu/ugis/masscomm/%5B/url%5D">http://ls.berkeley.edu/ugis/masscomm/</a>)</p>
<p>To the OP: if you want to learn a lot about UCLA comm, go to the UCLA board and search for comm. A poster by the name of Allie, who is a current comm major, has provided tons of useful info.</p>
<p>OP- I'm heavily biased towards UCLA (for both obvious and logical reasons). you can find me at the UCLA board for my reasoning.</p>
