Future journalism majors.

College Majors
1

<p>Does my high school prep seem smart for a future journalist:</p>

<p>Science (3 years): Earth Science, Bio Hon, Chem
Math (3 years): Geometry Hon, Alg II/Trig, Pre-Calc Hon
English (4 years): includes honors and AP Lang/Comp and AP Lit/Comp
Social Studies (4 years): includes hon World History, AP U.S. history, AP European History, and AP Microecon.
German language (4 years)
Newspaper (4 years):
9th grade: staff writer
10th grade: ad manager
11th grade: assistant editor
12th grade: editor-in-chief.</p>

<p>Basically, is my decision to skip math/science senior year stupid?</p>

<p>Also, electives include a business class freshmen year and a lot of music classes including choir and band.</p>

2

<p>Well, what schools do you want to go to?</p>

3

<p>Ithaca (top choice)
Emerson (second)
University of Colorado - Boulder (saftey)</p>

4

<p>you could probably do better than ithaca college for journalism considering its location</p>

<p>I've also read that very few journalists actually major in communication as undergrads</p>

5

<p>If you are willing to go to a cold place like Ithaca, how about Syracuse/Newhouse?</p>

6

<p>Ithaca is a possibility. Although I don't know how relevant it is now, my journalism teacher in HS went to Ithaca and I think she studied at Cornell too. She went on to a fairly successful career working for print newspapers, magazines, etc., before she had kids. She only began teaching after she got out of journalism and her kids had grown up a bit.</p>

7

<p>The creme de la creme of journalism schools: The Medill School at Northwestern.</p>

E.W.Scripts School of Journalism at Ohio U.
U. of Missouri
Annenberg School of Journalism at USC
Columbia School of Journalism
