<p>I really wan to major in Journalism and International Relations and become a foreign correspondent when I grow up. So far trhe colleges I am most interested in are NYU, Boston U, Penn State, and University of MD.</p>
<p>Does anyone know any colleges that would be good for those majors or have first hand experience in be a foreign correspondent? I'd love to hear from you if you know anything that could help me out :)</p>
<p>Take a look at American Univ and Georgetown - both are in the Washington, DC area.</p>
<p>My advice in this case would be to identify a particular country you are interested. Study the language of that country. Do a junior year abroad in that country, ideally in its main (usually capital) city. While there, try to work for the English language press in that country.</p>
<p>I think the job of “foreign correspondent” is becoming less common as it’s easier for news outlets to hire locals, or partner with local news organizations, to do reporting.</p>
<p>University of Maryland is located very well for access to D.C. and it has a strong journalism program. You can take the metro into D.C. from College Park.</p>
<p>Why not get used to living in a foreign country? Try U of Toronto, McGill University, U of Ottawa, and Dalhousie University (all in Canada).</p>
<p>George Washington for sure. It has the same resources as American and Georgetown but also has a political communications major.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone, I’ll look into those schools :)</p>
<p>I like the idea of focusing on a certain country. That’s a good idea!</p>
