<p>I want to do a journalism program, but i dont know which school to apply to. My family has financial issues and i know USC is wayy expensive. BUT they have a better broadcast journalism program. if i went to USC i would be coming from out of state therefore making it more expensive. but UT would be instate. I want to live in LA in the future so there is that.
what i was thinking of doing was getting my bachelors at UT then transfering to USC to get my masters. idk if that would be even more expensive though. what do you think?
please help</p>
<p>well have you considered Syracuse University? They’re #2 in top communication schools, right under UPenn. Syracuse is around $36,000 and you’ll definitely get your money’s worth for it. Solid school for what you want to do.</p>
<p>sorry, it’s around $49,000. my bad. 49 is better than 55!</p>
<p>haha no i havent. thank you for your help i will definitley look into that</p>
<p>which UT?!</p>
<p>University of Texas austin</p>
<p>The following is my opinion and another option for you.</p>
<p>If you are 100% certain you want to be a broadcast journalist then I wouldn’t waste my time or money getting a B.A. then a masters. The only benefit of doing that is just to have a broader knowledge base in some other area like political science, etc., if you wanted to go on to become a news journalist. To many this is a huge benefit. But that’s what books are for, right?</p>
<p>The University of Missouri should be an option if money is an issue. Their tuition is reasonable for out-of-staters compared to some and they have a very practical, hands on program with many “real world” opportunities built right in the program. They have an actual T.V. studio which is a major network affiliate news station (I believe NBC). Others have mock studios but at Missouri you’re actually providing news to an entire city and area so you walk out of Missouri ready (hopefully) to take on a real job. T.V. stations and networks know this too so, if you have talent to go along with it, it can give you a leg up on other applicants. I’m not saying there aren’t other great programs out there but Missouri is just a very solid value.</p>
<p>You can always do internships in L.A. to get your foot in the door.</p>
<p>if i shouldnt get a BA then a masters what should i do?</p>
