<p>I'm deciding between Syracuse and Boston U for communications. Is there a huge difference between Syracuse's S.I Newhouse and BU's College of Communication?</p>
<p>The only thing is that I will have to transfer into Newhouse (that is, if I maintain that 3.5 GPA) while at BU, I'm already into the communications program.</p>
<p>i really don't know about those schools- i'm headed to NYU this fall- where's everyone else going?</p>
<p>to answer the persons question tho, either northwestern or mizzou's j school, either one is equivalent, but an ivy will also do fine.....my father is a mizzou grad with his masters major in journalism and masters in art.....he got a job right out of the j school with the ny times and has been working there ever since...he also does freelance work (mcfarlin design (yeah free advertising)) for the big names... however he will intern anyone from the three big schools, (nw, um-c, or nyu) or from the ivys....he figures anyone from the ivys will learn what they need to do anyway....</p>
<p>im considering print journalism as my double major on top of business and im trying to make a decision as to where im going next fall. its getting so confusing because business and journalism are both ranked high at each!</p>
<p>if you guys could help me out here, im deciding between UT, USC, and UNC.</p>
<p>i know definitive business rankings: UNC/UT tied at 6, USC one below at 9. however, im getting the impression that all three have good jschools? </p>
<p>help!</p>
<p>kwoko - i'm trying to transfer to usc's annenberg school for communication as a print journalism major in the fall. i've done a ton of research and have concluded that it's most likely the best j-school on the west coast. ideally, if i didn't have any ties to southern california, i'd go to northwestern or chapel hill, but annenberg is really really good.</p>
<p>outredz, you should got to BU. since its awesome, and not as cold and isolated. in terms of programs, BU has a better advertising program while their journalism dept. is pretty much equal. i would go with BU since its amazing.</p>
<p>Northwestern has a sickly good journalism program from what I have heard.</p>
<p>When it comes to writing, NU is definitely the first and best.</p>
<p>Not to mention at NU, if you take non-journalism classes, the caliber of your classemates remain very high. All other schools within NU are almost as hard to get in as Medill and the Engineering school, not Medill, has the highest SAT I.</p>
<p>This is on a slightly different note: which are the best graduate j programs?</p>
<p>I'm asking because I didn't apply to the above schools with strong undergraduate journalism.</p>
<p>Yeah, I pretty much heard what you guys already posted: Northwestern, Mizzou, and Columbia. If you're tight on money, Mizzou is the best choice. But if that doesn't matter, take Northwestern. They're better than Columbia in terms of the journalism student atmosphere. That is, most j-students take it very seriously - it seems like all you'll ever see them doing in their free time is working on articles. And that's always good! Coumbia is great as well, but they aren't exactly distinct simply for their journalism program like Northwestern. But whatever school you get into, a lot of journalists say it doesn't even matter and hardly helps your reputation. </p>
<p>What I wanna know is, what school has the best undergrad BROADCAST journalism program? That might be a little too specific to ask.</p>
<p>NYU has a great broadcast journalism undergrad program.</p>
<p>check out Ohio University--Matt Lauer is an alum</p>
<p>I applied to the NHSI Journalism division (Early Admission) and got my acceptance letter yesterday -- anyone else?</p>
<p>I'm deciding between Chapel Hill, Northwestern, and Southern California. I'm kind of at a loss here. I live in NC and I want to go out of state, I got a half tuition scholarship to USC, but NU is undeniably the best program. I have two weeks to decide. Any suggestions?</p>
<p>Norhtwestern is indeed the best, but is ot worth paying $45,000/year to attend Northwestern when UNC will cost you under $15,000/year? That's a pretty serious difference. $120,000 over 4 years. You could pay for an entire Law school degree or an MBA for that amount of money. You could put a downpayment on a seriously nice house or buy 2 luxury cars with $120,000. Your parents could invest that money for you and turn it into a very comfortable nest egg for the future. They could even put sibling (assuming you have one) through college. Think very seriously about. UNC may not be as good as Northwestern, but it is still a remarkable university.</p>
<p>Michigan State has to be on this list. It's either top 10 or 5. It's the only accredited program in Michigan. Awesome, state-of-the are facilities. Faculty, along w/ Wisconsin, rated as tops in scholarly publishing. Also, many top industry professionals lecture and teach there. Produced oodles of alumni Pulitzer winners fanning out all over the country; the world. Home to the State's Journalism Hall of Fame. yada, yada, yada...</p>
<p>Northwestern
University of Southern California
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
NYU
American U.</p>
<p>i looked at j-school for a while, probably gonna end up in ag somewhere in state(texas) instead(cant feed a family well writing for a paper), but mizzou-columbia far surpasses many of those because of its numerous resources including the city newspaper and nbc television station in town(both of which it owns). if ur looking for real world experience(aka doing journalism not studying in, mu is worth a look)</p>

<p>No contest here; go to Syracuse. My sister was in the exact same situation a couple of years ago (deciding on going to SU or BU with a future transfer into Newhouse w/a 3.5 GPA). She chose SU and has never looked back. Newhouse is one of the best, if not the best, journalism schools in the country. She recently talked to an NYU grad who chose NYU over Syracuse and has regretted it ever since.</p>
<p>Boston is a great school, but for journalism it just can't compare to Syracuse.</p>
<p>I wouldn't even hesitate to say that in many ways Syracuse Newhouse is better than Northwestern...</p>
<p>I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Ohio University yet. It's good for both undergraduate and graduate journalism, with specializations in newspaper, magazine, broadcast, etc. And it's a state school, so it's cheap.</p>
