<p>So I'm a junior that's thinking about going into sports public/media relations. However, I want to possibly major in communicatioins as you can still do a variety of different things.</p>
<p>So what good schools for communications/public relations are out there?</p>
<p>Univ. of Missouri-Columbia, Syracuse, and Northwestern</p>
<p>Ohio University, Maryland and Indiana.</p>
<p>Syracuse University - the Newhouse School has the majors you are looking at</p>
<p>I’m really surprised as to why Emerson is left out of this…it’s a strictly communications school, really. </p>
<p>[Emerson</a> College](<a href=“http://www.emerson.edu/]Emerson”>http://www.emerson.edu/)</p>
<p>apparently one of the best around, too.</p>
<p>Wisconsin</p>
<p>[History</a> | School of Journalism & Mass Communication](<a href=“http://www.journalism.wisc.edu/pages/history]History”>http://www.journalism.wisc.edu/pages/history)</p>
<p>U Miami, Villanova, Syracuse, Ithaca, Penn State, American, GWU</p>
<p>USC Annenberg</p>
<p>In my opinion The 2 top schools are SI Newhouse and University of Pennsylvania. They seem go go back and forth in different articles between 1 and 2. My daughter chose SI Newhouse over U of P as she enjoyed the trip there and felt it met not only her educational requirements but what she was looking for in a college environment.
I’m sure there are many excellent schools other than these, but I only had interactions with these two.
By the way my daughter loves Syracuse!</p>
<p>This thread is three years old but I agree with all of the above…</p>
<p>and fwiw, unless something has changed, the UPenn comm program is more research based (for people who want to go on to graduate school/PHd’s)…</p>
<p>Agree about Syracuse & Ithaca, both great schools.</p>
