<p>Syracuse tends to top most lists, Northwestern, NYU.</p>

<p>Read this thread <a href=“What are the best colleges for communication? - College Search & Selection - College Confidential Forums”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/212731-what-are-the-best-colleges-for-communication.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Communications? That’s pretty broad. What career are you aiming for?</p>

<p>You’ll find Comm programs almost exclusively in large research universities. Here’s a link for the accredited programs: <a href=“http://www2.ku.edu/~acejmc/STUDENT/PROGLIST.SHTML”>http://www2.ku.edu/~acejmc/STUDENT/PROGLIST.SHTML&lt;/a&gt; </p>

<p>As for the “best” programs, it depends. It depends a lot on what is best for you, so I’ll echo @dyiu13’s question: what do you want to do with Communications? Are your interests more academic (i.e. grad studies/research) or vocational (e.g. journalism)? </p>

<p>Some of the top communications schools are:
University of Florida – College of Journalism and Communications
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill – School of Journalism and Mass Communication
Syracuse University – S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications</p>

<p>sticking with the broadness, USC’s Annenberg is pretty good and lately USC has had a lot of merit.</p>

<p>USCs 1/2 tuition scholarship winners had an average SAT score of about 2150. OP doesn’t have that</p>
