<p>This coming year I'll be transferring after finishing up my AA at my local CC, as a Journalism major. I know that most of the top J-schools are either large state schools or selective private schools, but I love the idea of an LAC. The focus on undergrad, the small environments - it's what I'm attracted to. I already know of Ithaca, Emerson and Mount Holyoke (minor), but do you know of other LACs with good Journalism programs? I would prefer the East Coast (but open to other areas as well), and nothing extremely selective as I don't have the stats.</p>
<p>Emerson College sounds like a great choice for you. It’s located in Boston and is known for its writing and Communications program.</p>
<p>Kenyon is also a great LAC for writing/journalism, though it is in rural Ohio.</p>
<p>EDIT: oops, looks like Emerson is already on your list. Take a look at Hampshire, also in Massachusetts.</p>
<p>Kenyon has a superb English department, but no journalism or communications major.<br>
Few selective LACs have these majors. They are not considered “liberal arts”.</p>
<p>I’d add Lehigh (not a LAC), Washington & Lee, U Richmond, and especially Susquehanna to the suggestions above.</p>
<p>Thanks to all of you!
@ tk, I don’t much consider them liberal arts, either, but I’ve seen them categorized as so before.</p>
<p>There is a journalism forum here on CC - [Journalism</a> Major - College Confidential](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/journalism-major/]Journalism”>Journalism Major - College Confidential Forums)</p>
<p>bumpppppp!</p>
<p>Any other suggestions would be appreciated.</p>
<p>I recommend W&L and UR, great programs and smaller schools.</p>
<p>I’ll look into Lehigh and UR, thanks. Any more suggestions?</p>
