Communications Major at CP

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Maryland - College Park

<p>Although I didn't get in to CP this year, I'm thinking about the possibility of transferring there from UMBC. UMBC has a mass communications program, with advertising, public relations, and a wide vareity of classes that I'd love to take.</p>

<p>However...from what I've heard, I feel like the campus social scene and general student body are not completely right for me (and feel like I'm more of a CP person)</p>

<p>I know that College Park has a communications program, but it seems to lie only in the realms of journalism, public speaking/rhetoric, things like that.</p>

<p>Does anyone know if it's possible to take classes involving media studies and mass communication in maryland and major in something like advertising/mass comm?</p>

<p>Bump. I’m transferring, too ( from a maryland cc). Also, how does UMCP compare with other schools like Towson or Loyola regarding comm majors?</p>

<p>I don’t know how it compares to other schools for comm, but it is definitely the best public school in the state, no question.</p>
