<p>I'm looking into these SUNY schools to major in commuications with a concentration in public relations. At Albany, you don't get admitted to the major until Jr.year, and it's not garunteed. you need a certain gpa to get into the program. But you come out with a combined BA/MA in communications. At oneonta, its a typical undergrad program that starts freshman year. but i heard albany is a better school in general. I visited both campuses and while i liked them both, I prefered Oneonta. Any suggestions/opinions? Thanks!!</p>
<p>just got into udel! now i’m deciding between those 3. i will most likely choose udel.</p>
<p>i read that communications is one of the top 10 most pointless majors. Not discouraging but I just want to know, (curiously) what do you plan to do with that major?</p>
<p>I’ve heard that too actually. I’m not sure what I want to do with the rest of my life so I don’t have exact “plans” for this major. Communications is such a broad topic. Right now, I want to study public relations and maybe minor in marketing or advertising so I can work in business once I graduate. Also, i’m going to delaware and the communications program there is set so you don’t actually enter the major until junior year. During fresh and soph years, I will be taking a few basic comm. classes and if my gpa is high enough, I’ll be admitted to the program and I’ll be able to choose a track of comm. that I want to study. Hopefully by then I’ll have a have a better idea on what I want to do with my life. Another good thing about having this major is that since there are only a few basic comm. classes, there will be plenty of room in my schedule to take classes in other majors and see if anything else sparks my interest. I agree that studying communications for four whole years might be pointless if you don’t know what you want to do because there are so many different comm. fields and its a very vague degree. A comm. degree could mean pr, media, advertising, theater(at some schools). I don’t think that it will be pointless for me though. I guess it’s what you make of it.</p>
