UMCP for Marketing or Journalism?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hello, all. Newbie here. </p>

<p>I am interested in a career in marketing, and am looking heavily at University of Maryland College Park, either for marketing in the college of business or the journalism school (they have an advertising concentration as well, so I could major in one and minor in the other). I am leaning toward Maryland in part because I have family there, and have been to the campus and it's GORGEOUS. Love the red brick everywhere (yes I know lots of schools have that, but it just felt good!). </p>

<p>Anyone familiar with their colleges of biz or journalism? I'd love some input. I have no doubt I could get in, and could likely get into a more selective school (top 2% of my undergrad class, great ECs) but I'd like to be open to my options. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I'm not sure how the business dept is, but I know the UMCP journalism/communications dept is great. There's lots of opportunities esp since its so close to DC, and you could work at one of the many newspapers they have there. It is definetely worth applying to. Besides, in journalism, its all about the connections</p>
