Choosing a California College for Journalism

College Search & Selection

<p>I'm transferring to a 4-year this Fall from community college. I have all of my pre-reqs covered. I have been accepted into San Diego State, CSU Long Beach, and CSU Sacramento.</p>

<p>My interests are in public relations and music management, my major is journalism. </p>

<p>San Diego has the most comprehensive PR progem but will take longest</p>

<p>Long Beach is the best location to find a career in my interests</p>

<p>Sac State is closest to my parents and has a short journalism program that I will get out of quickly. </p>

<p>Does anyone have any experience at the journalism progams at these schools? Any advise? need to decide by May 1</p>

<p>Is cost of living an issue or are you financially OK? Obviously Sac is cheapest but if you can afford it, I think either CSULB or SDSU would be good choices.</p>

<p>My former community college j-prof had his bachelor’s and master’s from SDSU. Don’t have any personal experience with it, though.</p>

<p>By the way, what college are you transferring from and did you work on the paper there?</p>
