Good Journalism and International Affair Schools

<p>Can anyone tell me what universities or colleges are good in journalism, international affairs, and political science? Just to name a few I know:</p>

<p>Georgetown University
Northwestern University
Tufts University</p>

<p>American University, George Washington, and probably U Maryland.
Are you sure that GT and Tufts have journalism programs?</p>

<p>I don't have much insight on international affairs and political science, but a lot of people on my newspaper staff are looking into journalism schools, so maybe I'm qualified to help there.</p>

<p>I think your question might be better answered if you were more specific. There are a lot of journalism schools who are equally good, but in different ways. For instance, schools like Maryland, Missouri, and Kansas are all about the same quality, but their programs are run in totally different manners with different emphasis.</p>

<p>When you're looking at journalism schools, my recommendation is to go with a university with its own journalism school separate from the CLAS.</p>

<p>Northstar mom, I know Tufts and Gergetown are excellent in International Affairs not sure about english.</p>

<p>English and journalism are two entirely different majors and I don't think Tufts and Georgetown have journalism majors.</p>

<p>Northwestern, AU, and GWU are all good. I think also Syracuse for journalism and Clark offeres a somewhat-journalism related major but has pretty good international affairs.</p>

<p>GW has a specialized political communications major.</p>

<p>GW sounds great. Their journalism school is awesome 1)because of the location and 2) because of the Crossfire CNN broadcast from GW.</p>

<p>There has so many opportunities in the journalism school. It has like a 15% acceptance rate, though.</p>

<p>Add:</p>

<p>University of Missouri-Columbia
University of Mississippi-Oxford
Emorson College</p>

<p>How good is Emerson for political print journalism specifically?
I know it's supposed to be good for any communications major but it seems hard to believe it will be well-rounded enough when it doesn't even offer other majors.</p>

<p>Thank you for much for starting this thread.</p>

<p>George Washington would defintely be on the top.</p>

<p>What about Northeastern and McGill (Canada)?</p>

<p>O, and GW has a really good IA major(I am applying ED to the Elliot School btw). Hopefully we'll be there next year together!</p>

<p>Also, I second the comment on Mississippi. I don't know about the Journalism, but I was personally invited to this international studies school(croft institute I believe?). It's very good. I don't really know to much about the nationwide rep. of it, though.</p>

<p>Mcgill doesn't have a journalism program, poison ivy. In canada, for journalism you're looking at Concordia, Ryerson or Carleton in terms of top journalism programs.</p>

<p>Thanks ivyleaguer.</p>
