<p>Does anyone know of schools on the east coast (northern) which offer a major in fashion/magazine journalism? Or - fashion merchandising + magazine journalism?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>The closest I think you would be getting is journalism or maybe print journalism. </p>
<p>-- Okay, I did a little bit of poking around, and here's what I found (and I have no idea how "good" these schools are, but they could be a starting point)</p>
<p>Ohio University's Scripps School Journalism offers a magazine journalism "sequence" (<a href="http://scrippsjschool.org/academic_options.php?story_id=63%5B/url%5D">http://scrippsjschool.org/academic_options.php?story_id=63</a>)</p>
<p>Howard offers a fashion merchandising and a news, editorial/print major (<a href="http://www.howard.edu%5B/url%5D">www.howard.edu</a>)</p>
<p>NYU offers magazine writing...</p>
<p>Okay, that's all I have time for right now, but if you type colleges+magazine journalism, or fashion merchandising, etc., you'll probably find something</p>
<p>i doubt you could go wrong with Columbia's Journalism program</p>
<p>Here's a link to schools with journalism and mass communications departments: <a href="http://www.univsource.com/jmc.htm%5B/url%5D">http://www.univsource.com/jmc.htm</a></p>
<p>There are very few schools in the U.S with such a program. Your best bet would be to just double major in fashion merchandising and journalism. However there are some schools in the U.S with programs that combine fashion and journalism:</p>
<p>Stephen's College has a fashion communication program with a journalism track: <a href="http://www.stephens.edu/academics/registrar/catalog/2006-2007/FashionCommunications.php#FCJ%5B/url%5D">http://www.stephens.edu/academics/registrar/catalog/2006-2007/FashionCommunications.php#FCJ</a></p>
<p>University of Nebraska - Lincoln has a clothing, textiles, design major with a track in journalism and mass communications: <a href="http://cehs.unl.edu/tcd/undergrad/tcdJournalism.shtml%5B/url%5D">http://cehs.unl.edu/tcd/undergrad/tcdJournalism.shtml</a></p>
<p>The Academy of Art University in san fransisco has a fashion journalism major: <a href="http://www.academyart.edu/fashion-school/outline.html?AP=BFA-FSH&ASP=BFA-FSHJR%5B/url%5D">http://www.academyart.edu/fashion-school/outline.html?AP=BFA-FSH&ASP=BFA-FSHJR</a></p>
<p>Thanks - I will pass these suggestions on to my daughter.</p>

<p>I should also mention the fashion school in NYC, Laboratory Institute of Merchandising, has a minor in fashion publishing that you combine with the fashion merchandising degree. It's location in the city is prime for internships and the like. Best of luck!</p>
<p>Syracuse's prestigious Newhouse School of Public Communications offers Magazine Journalism. It's one of the top journalism/communication schools in the country, so I'd strongly consider it.</p>
<p>--By the way, networking and job placement is a big reason why I chose Syracuse. 96% of Newhouse grads go off to work in their fields straight from there, without having to go to grad school.</p>
<p>--Just remembered something. Syracuse has a strong Fashion program in the College of Visual and Performing Arts (VPA). While Newhouse kids cannot double major with VPA, there are communication majors in VPA that, I believe, you can pair with Fashion.</p>

<p>Good suggestion about Syracuse - I actually graduated from the Newhouse school at Syracuse myself (and have been working in my major, tv-radio, all these years), and I think it would be perfect for my daughter in terms of her areas of interest. The only problem with Syracuse is that she prefers a much smaller college. She doesn't want to get lost in the crowd, and having attended Syracuse I know from experience that she's not going to get the individual attention from professors that she needs.
(However, my college roommate's son will start at Syracuse in the fall!)</p>
<p>Susan</p>
<p>Wow! Now I feel like I've been preaching to the choir. I'll be attending in the fall, as a freshman, as well.</p>
<p>Jouraynalism,</p>
<p>I didn't realize from your comments that you were just starting at Newhouse. Good luck to you!</p>
<p>Thanks. Yeah, I was also trying to convince MYSELF that I made the right decision. Telling other people about all the good things about SU helps make me think that I did.</p>
<p>Hey, I'm going to newhouse this fall too.</p>
