<p>The only program I have seen is the masters for Columbia. No undergrads?</p>
<p>It could be that a journalism degree is seen more as vocational. Since the Ivies are liberal arts schools that are strongly centered on an academic curriculum, they do not offer such degree programs. That is, all of the programs are research-oriented - I haven’t heard of journalism research? But then, those who wish to go into journalism major in something broader, like English. Princeton, for instance, offers a certificate in creative writing.</p>
<p>Yep, it’s because the Ivies are all about liberal arts and the more “classic” majors like English, political science/government, etc.</p>
<p>Interesting, thanks guys!</p>
<p>There are a ton of journalists that went to Ivy’s though. If you major in political science/communications you could still become a journalist. It’s important to remember that journalism majors teach you how to be a journalist. They don’t give you insight into how to write about a particular topic, which is what is most valuable for someone wanting to go into journalism.</p>
