Media Concentrations

<p>Does anyone know of the specific schools that offer media concentrations and/or a good curriculum in media? (I already know that NYU Stern and Columbia have media concentrations available.)</p>

<p>Also, are these programs actually helpful for people pursuing careers in the media industry? They seem pretty sound, but I don't know anyone who's actually graduated from them.</p>

<p>Thanks for any help. :)</p>

<p>If you want to work on the business side of media the route that many people follow is going to a good undergrad then working in ibanking or consulting (more from this side) and then making the switch over to industry...i'd just look for schools with good finance/accouting/management programs. </p>

<p>I am currenlty interning in the finance & corporate development department at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer working with the top execs at the firm and it seems like most of the executives followed these routes, or a law route where they were at a big law firm and then made the switch. </p>

<p>Most of the interns here are either from top 20 undergrad schools or top 10 MBA programs (btw 1st and 2nd year).</p>
