media studies @ Berkeley

<p>I understand that the media studies major at Berkeley is closest to communications as one can get; however, i was wondering what its reputation was. Also what major would be closest to journalism because I realize that there is not a journalism BA major only a graduate program, but I am still interested in this field. Thanks :]</p>

<p>I think you should major in English if you want to go into journalism. The English department at Berkeley is superb.</p>

<p>should i major in english only if i am planning on doing my graduate in journalism, or just regardless?</p>

<p>Yeah, tons of people who go into journalism (even grad school) major in English for undergrad.</p>

<p>perfect, thanks.</p>
