UGA vs. Georgia Tech for International Affairs

<p>Hi, I'm new on this site, but I would love to find some opinions from other people about the international affairs program for UGA and Georgia Tech. </p>

<p>I've been accepted to both schools for early admission, but now I'm having the difficulty of choosing where exactly I would like to go. However, in addition to the international affairs program, I know I want to have a career involving some aspect of journalism. </p>

<p>I'm aware that Tech has a strong academic curricula, but now I'm thinking that I'm not exactly sure if the school is a right fit for a girl who is heavily dedicated to liberal arts. But I also know that Tech has a cluster elective course in which I can take journalism classes with Georgia State. </p>

<p>As for UGA, I know for sure that the journalism program is outstanding but I haven't heard much about the international affairs program there. </p>

<p>I would also like to consider job opportunities after graduation. Such as, would a company be more inclined to hire someone who graduated from Tech or UGA? </p>

<p>:/ I really need some advice. Please help me out if you can!</p>

<p>UGA is your best bet b/c of it’s journalism program and it’s national recognition. Also, Tech is more focused on technology and engineering so the chance of being recruited for int’l studies is minimal.</p>

<p>Well, my personal answer for INTA (though for fair warning I am a Tech student) is Tech. This is not as much because the program is alot better and what not, but your grade will put you in like the top 5% on a school wide basis where as with UGA you will have a lower comparable GPA. Though I will say my sis went thru INTA at UGA and liked it – she is now going to law school. </p>

<p>Overall, if Journalism is a huge passion, I have no clue what the Tech dual enrollment program is like. That was just my two cents for the International Affairs issue.</p>

<p>in case others have similar questions: Georgia Tech also has courses that would be good for those who want a strong background in journalism. </p>

<p>Another one of the majors offered at GT is Science, Technology, and Culture which includes many media, communication, literature, and writing based courses. </p>

<p>You can look up some of the courses on the school’s website-<a href=“http://lmc.gatech.edu/undergraduate/stac/courses/mastercourselist.php”>http://lmc.gatech.edu/undergraduate/stac/courses/mastercourselist.php&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
