Communications at NYU -- CAS or Steinhardt?

<p>For a student interested in Communications (not journalism) at NYU, should he apply to CAS or Steinhardt?</p>

<p>ask this question at the admissions office or at the NYU forum.</p>

<p>I don’t get it. Is this not the NYU forum?</p>

<p>This is the NYU forum, but also, you should really use google for simple questions like this one: <a href=“LMGTFY - Let Me Google That For You”>LMGTFY - Let Me Google That For You;

<p>that was weird. did I just step into the Bone Clocks?</p>

<p>jazz, I did. The Steinhardt program looks different from most traditional communication studies programs. And I found this from an earlier CC post:</p>

<p>“I contacted NYU and they said they label things a little differently than other schools. They communications program they have is for communicative disorders, and the media, culture, and communications one is more sociology related…not focused on broadcast at all. The rep told me if I did journalism it would probably set me up good for what I want to do the only thing is that its heavily print focused and I am looking into Broadcast journalism. I still need to study journalism because tv and radio broadcast is still a form of journalism but I need the media experience. Then he told me I could try for the Gallatin school.” </p>

<p>Communication studies are usually hosted in Arts and Science. Steinhardt looks like a mixed bag of communication, education, health, arts and music. Hence the question.</p>

<p>Are you a student in Steinhardt? What do you think of the program?</p>

<p>Steinhardt is the everything else school, so yes it is a mixed bag. I’m not too familiar with the MCC program, but that sounds like that would be what you’re looking for, and I think there may be posts on here or elsewhere that go into more detail about the program. Communicative disorders is like speech pathology and is not really what people think of when they think of communications as a major</p>

<p>jazz, thanks. I’ve read a couple of your earlier posts on Steinhardt MCC, and they are very helpful. It’s good to know that a lot of people interested in PR major in MCC. That’s part of his interest too. I’d presume that Steinhardt is not more selective than CAS.</p>

<p>One more question. Understand Sterns offer a Business Studies minor for non-Stern students (managed by CAS). How competitive is it to get into this program from MCC?</p>

<p>I know at least for CAS students, anyone can do the business studies minor, though they do have to wait for Stern students to sign up for their classes before they can register for any left over open spaces in the classes. Non-CAS folks need to apply for it, but I think as long as they have space for the classes, there shouldn’t be an issue</p>
