<p>Hi Everyone</p>
<p>I'm currently a college freshman at a private institution in the North East. I'm looking into transferring schools my junior year. I'm looking into Emerson College and Ithaca College because both have really strong communications majors and departments. Does anyone else know of any other schools with good, reputible communications departments??</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>Northeastern? Really?</p>
<p>Syracuse is more for journalism. If you're going in that direction then the New House school would be great. </p>
<p>Boston University is another good school for communications</p>
<p>Northwestern
U. Southern California</p>
<p>In Boston: Emerson and BU.</p>
<p>(I'm not sure about Northeastern... Did you mean Northwestern, Huskem55?)</p>
