<p>Hi. I am an entering senior and completely overwhelmed with how many schools there are out there to choose from. I was wondering if someone could name some schools that are known for their journalism programs. I'm thinking of majoring in poli-sci/journalism and i want to go somewhere that has a good reputation and academics. Thanks for the help!</p>
<p>Northwestern's Medill - School of Journalism is amazing :) </p>
<p>Check it out! <a href="http://www.medill.northwestern.edu/medill/%5B/url%5D">http://www.medill.northwestern.edu/medill/</a></p>
<p>Do a search. There are tons of threads on this subject.</p>
<p>There are lots of threads on this, but to paraphrase, Northwestern, Missouri-Columbia and Syracuse are universally considered to be elite journalism programs, and others such as USC, UNC-Chapel Hill, Texas-Austin, Penn State, Miami (Fla.), Mayland-College Park and Ohio U. have very strong programs, each of which is considered by some to fall into the elite category. Depending on what area you're interested in, the schools can be broken down further--for example, Miami is very strong in broadcast j, Ohio U. in print j. Of the first three, all of which have good reps in both areas, Syracuse is cosidered probably the strongest of the three in broadcast and wekest in print (though still very good); Northwestern is the opposite; and Mizssouri is in the middle of the three in both areas.</p>
<p>I have a daughter in the same position--entering senior thinking of majoring in journalism and political science. Good luck.</p>

<p>Great program, great location, great fun.</p>
<p>I should have clarified--the schools I identified above were large school programs. Schools like Emerson, NYU and BU also have strong programs.</p>
<p>NYU is graduate only. Many folks on CC forget that fact. Graduate ONLY.</p>
<p>Georgia also has a journalism school. Pretty good and priced right for OOS.</p>
<p>No, it's not. NYU has an undergraduate journalism major as part of the LAS. It's Columbia which is only graduate.</p>
<p>hand to forehead. Gotta be watching soccer at the same time I am posting. Apologies from me. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Correct it is Columbia.</p>
<p>Part of CAS*. Oh, and at NYU, journalism students are required to double major.</p>
<p>thanks so much! I'll look into the schools you've listed.</p>
<p>Syracuse is very, very well respected in regards to journalism. Def in the top three in the nation, along with northwestern.</p>
<p>One prof's list</p>
