Journalism

<p>I'm going into journalism to get into public relations, and I was wondering how is Cornell's journalism program? Thanks for the help!</p>

<p>i didnt think cornell had a “journalism” program…</p>

<p>that being said most people here who do go into journalism are writers for a publication on campus and/or very active on campus…</p>

<p>Thanks. Columbia is much better for journalism.</p>

<p>There is a communications major in CALS, you’d have to check for details to see if it meets your needs.</p>

<p>Formal academics aside though, The campus newspaper has long been a stepping stone for people pursuing careers in related areas.</p>

<p>From Wikepedia:</p>

<p>" The Sun claims at least six Pulitzer Prize winners and boasts a number of other prominent alumni. They include:</p>

<p>David Folkenflik, Editor-in-Chief (1990-91), reporter for NPR
Frank E. Gannett, founder of the Gannett Company; coincidentally, Gannett now owns and operates The Ithaca Journal
Marc Lacey, Mexico City correspondent, The New York Times
Carl P. Leubsdorf, The Dallas Morning News columnist
Oscar Mayer, Business Manager (1933-1934), grandson of the founder of the Oscar Mayer meat production company responsible for that company’s substantial growth
Dick Schaap, Editor-in-Chief (1954-1955), noted sports writer and broadcaster
Jeremy Schaap, Sports Editor (1990-1991), ESPN contributor and son of Dick Schaap
Kurt Vonnegut, Associate Editor (1942-1943), novelist and satirist
E. B. White, Editor-in-Chief (1920-1921), columnist and novelist "</p>

<p>I do recall that Columbia has a highly regarded journalism program at the graduate level, however their journalism school is a graduate program only, IIRC. For undergrad, interested parties might be wise to check on what offerings they provide to undergraduates there, if any.</p>

<p>you may want to look at northwestern for journalism. it is a fairly similar school to cornell and it has a great j school</p>

<p>Thanks so much, you guys!</p>

<p>Columbia also does not have journalism at an undergraduate level, none of the Ivy’s do. Yale has this program: [Yale</a> Journalism Initiative | Special Programs | Yale College | Yale College Programs of Study](<a href=“Yale College”>Yale College)</p>

<p>But it is very hard to get into and is not a major. I would suggest NYU, Northwestern, USC, UNC- Chapel Hill, Mizzou, Syracuse and Indiana for journalism.</p>
