<p>I would recommend American University and The George Washington University, both in Wash DC. Both offer solid programs, and because of their locations, both offer lots of internship opportunities and you're in the heart of things. My husband was a broadcast J-grad of AU and immediately went into federal agency and Capitol Hill reporting...seamless transition. While in college at GW, I picked up parttime reporting stints and rubbed elbows with some amazing people that I would never have met otherwise. Washington is an incredible place to attend college. Lots to do on a student's budget.</p>
