Journalism, communications, and such at Gtown

<p>Just wondering... I know, via the English department, there are some journalism courses available at Gtown. But I was wondering how any current students found these classes? I think I might be interested in communications, and I know/knew Gtown didn't have a communications program going into it, but I loved the school so much I applied anyway. What opportunities would you say are available for people interested in this at Gtown?
I might not even have to worry about this, seeing as how I'm on the waitlist, but just wondering anyway.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure journalism is admittedly one of their worst programs.</p>

<p>there isn't a journalism program, not sure what domestican is talking about.</p>

<p>Oh. Well I had been looking on the English website and somehow got linked to a Georgetown journalism website (or maybe I googled it... <em>shrug</em>). Either way, I guess that says something about it if there is question as to whether or not it exists/ the people who think it exists think it sucks. Thanks a bunch!</p>

<p>Um... <a href="http://journalism.georgetown.edu/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://journalism.georgetown.edu/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>The journalism courses are offered by the English department. There is no technical "journalism" program. </p>

<p>Regardless, I don't think many people come to Georgetown with the intent of being a journalist.</p>

<p>Well ,domestican, you said "I'm pretty sure journalism is admittedly one of their worst programs" and you were wrong. There is no journalism program. It cant be bad if it doesnt exist.</p>

<p>Then you said, "Regardless, I don't think many people come to Georgetown with the intent of being a journalist." I don't think that's necessarily true either. Very few journalists have an educational background strictly in journalism. Look at Bob Woodward, Tom Friedman, any journalist you want; most studied something other than journalism as an undergraduate.</p>

<p>the georgetown english department is phenomenal, so i don't know how someone could say journalism is one of its worst programs.</p>

<p>I suppose I should've said Georgetown's journalism was lacking (which I thereafter found out didn't even really exist, so I guess it really is lacking, haha).</p>

<p>I dunno, I read an article in the Hoya about how Journalism was not a strength of Georgetown's.</p>
