I really loved Indiana University- Bloomington when I was there a few months ago, and was accepted in early November. I would love to go there, I’m just not sure of how it is viewed academically across the country. Is it viewed as a good school? How do employers look at it? How do the academics seem compared to other schools? I would be majoring in the Media School and minoring in Kelley… thanks!
Don’t worry about what other people think about your school. If you would love to go, then go. I have no idea about the academics, but if it seems to match your level then it’s good enough, and anything more would be diminishing returns.
Ball State is the Media School in this area (Letterman) . Kelley is a great choice for business.
Why not major in Marketing at Kelley and in your Junior year concentrate on the “type” of Marketing you want to be in? Maybe it meets your aptitude for Media.
But, @chowling is right. Go where you fit.
Go wherever you want. HOWEVER, if you’re out of state and don’t have a scholarship, i’d say go to your state school unless you loved IU. It’s definitely a good school for in state students. We have lots of international students and B.F. Skinner, the famous psychologist, used to be a professor here if that’s of any interest.
It depends on what other schools you are comparing to.
IU academically is pretty good, many great professors but not so great when it comes to reputation.
A degree from IU is not very impressive,especially outside of the Midwest, where east coast schools and maybe a few on the west coast are highly favored.
On the other hand,a minor from Kelley does not have the same value as a Kelley business degree. You need to work your ass off to get into Kelley but when it comes to minor, there is no any admission process for it.
