<p>I'm going to Mizzou in three days! All the schools have their pros and cons, but someone said that Mizzou is theory based, and that's really not the case. Mizzou is the only J-School that owns and runs the city's newspaper, and the city's news station. To graduate from the J-School, you have to actively participate in one of them. Its very hands-on.</p>
<p>bingo! for about fifty years mizzou journalism students have been required to serve as reporters for the columbia missourian, a city daily. if you decide on broadcast you are required to serve as a reporter for komu-tv, the local network affiliate. been there, and done both of them.</p>
<p>my brother liked the place so much that he's still there, as the missourian advertising manager, thirty years later.</p>
<p>congrats sun...you will like the ride ahead.</p>
<p>Is it possible to teach at J-schools (or even colleges with communication studies departments) after graduating with a M.J. or M.A. in journalism?</p>
<p>UF was ranked 6th overall the last time I checked. I think that they should be ranked higher though.</p>
<p>pseudo,
yes, many teach in j-schools without doctoral degrees--particularly if you have high level experience working in some aspect of the field. some of these faculty actually can get promoted all the way to full professor at certain institutions.</p>
<p>Thanks for the info drj.</p>
<p>Anyone know anything the new Stanford Journalism M.A. Program? (other than what's on their website): <a href="http://communication.stanford.edu/journalism/%5B/url%5D">http://communication.stanford.edu/journalism/</a></p>
<p>you are hooked up, plume. a classmate of mine from doctoral days is the director of graduate studies at stanford. drop a line to dr. ted glasser there. he's pretty good about replies. good luck!</p>
<p>Thanks again, drj.</p>
<p>I'll drop him a line.</p>
<p>Where did you do your doctoral studies, drj?</p>
<p>university of iowa</p>
<p>I'm a UGA graduate student and I've found that my experience has been extremely enriching. I think that too often people rely on school names to get to where they want to be instead good old fashion hard work and discipline... hopefully you're not one of these people. I've seen people from less prestigious institutions do incredible things professionally without attending a name brand school. My personal thought is that yes a name will help, but it ultimately comes down to your personal ability and skills. I based my decision attending UGA on the fit of the program to my personal aspirations (I suggest other graduate candidates do the same- a good fit is what people should really be searching for- For me the more important questions were questions like does program mesh well with my research endeavors?; Are there faculty members that share some of interest as a scholar?; Does program prepare me for entering the field I want to explore?; What are the financial components involved?, etc). I am not saying that reputation is insignificant in selecting a good graduate program. However, I will say that it is that it is petty to inconsistently discredit a program you seem to know little about. In fact, you mentioned that you thought UF has a better journalism program (and while that may be true for you) one of our doctoral students was recently hired there. I think that goes to show that obviously people who graduate from Georgia are able to make use of their educational experience and do exceedingly well. I'm not sure how much research you've done, but UGA has a lot opportunities available to its student. Furthermore, our faculty, unlike some the other graduate programs I visited, is whole-heartedly devoted to the success of their students. UGA has the honor of administering the coveted Peabody Awards every year. In addition, Georgia has a phenomenal program that allows students to participate in the Cannes Festival in France as a part of the UGA curriculum. I don't many grad programs that invite students to conferences overseas... this summer I went to the Caribbean Studies Association Conference in Trinidad after assisting my professor on her research. So as a final comment, I don't buy your mediocre comments about Georgia.</p>
<p>Do you think you're a little biased to Florida?</p>
<p>They've found in Australia that the top journalism schools, at least as far as student ratings are concerned, are the smaller colleges which aren't ver well known. Thats mainly because they have better class sizes and more dedicated faculty than some of the larger universities. The Australian newspaper had an article on the leading schools <a href="http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,20447561-7582,00.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,20447561-7582,00.html</a> (What makes a good school of journalism), also at <a href="http://www.jschool.com.au/topschools.php%5B/url%5D">http://www.jschool.com.au/topschools.php</a>. There seem to be many different opinions on why some colleges are better than others.</p>
<p>Hey, I'm a junior in college getting ready for graduate school. I'm studying Communicaitons - Entertainment and Tourism Studies with a minor in Radio/TV/Film at Cal State Fullerton (In Orange County). I know USC would probably be the best place to go, but I wanted to know what other schools have great graduate communication programs that emphasize the arts and entertainment. I have a 3.5 GPA and decent GRE scores.</p>
<p>does anyone know of an available list of the best journalism colleges?</p>
