<p>I love writing and I love being on camera, so I am not sure what college will allow me to fully explore the two aspects. Any suggestions would help SO much!</p>
<p>Northwestern- Medill
Syracuse- Newhouse
Missouri
UNC
Maryland- College Park
NYU
BU
Columbia (for grad)</p>
<p>Those are what come to mind for me.</p>
<p>Wisconsin-Madison</p>
<p>Washington State University for broadcast journalism (Murrow College of Communication named after alum Edward R. Murrow.)</p>
<p>Make Sure that the college you apply two has some good courses on the art of spelling</p>
<p>Missouri’s really is awesome :)</p>
<p>@hirenishungry: Make sure whatever college YOU apply to has courses on capitalization, punctuation, and proper use of homophones. ;)</p>

<p>Just Food for Thought</p>
<p>I know that is not a direct response to your question, but if you want to be a journalist you might think about a broad liberal arts education rather than a journalism degree. My friends that are journalists (NYT, Forbes, WSJ) all studied social sciences (Economics, History, Political Science) at top schools like Claremont Mckenna, Yale, and Haverford.</p>
<p>Checkout this series about the large number of journalists Haverford College has produced, as an example.</p>
<p>[Winter</a> 2003 Alumni Magazine](<a href=“http://www.haverford.edu/publications/winter03/welcome.htm]Winter”>http://www.haverford.edu/publications/winter03/welcome.htm)</p>
<p>[Paper</a> Trails](<a href=“http://www.haverford.edu/publications/winter03/trails.htm]Paper”>http://www.haverford.edu/publications/winter03/trails.htm)</p>
<p>To be clear, I’m not knocking the likes of Missouri, Northwestern, and Syracuse, which are all great. But I just want you to think about alternatives as well…</p>
<p>In the true spirit of liberal learning, LACs don’t offer majors in journalism or communications (deemed too pre-professional). Even so, Haverford, as an example, has produced an inordinate number of prominent journalists for a college its size. I think this is because Haverford and similar LACs are expert at preparing students for a lifetime of asking questions, a lifetime of thinking analytically, a lifetime of writing effectively-- all of which are a natural fit for journalism.</p>
<p>Pointoforder makes a good point. My son is also interested in journalism and had to choose between a really great journalism program at Ithaca College or a liberal arts degree from William & Mary. He chose W&M, although Ithaca was a close second. He is enjoying being an English/anthropology major and working mucho on the student paper. He has a great internship this summer with our local (Wilmington, Delaware) newspaper and is getting to write a lot of stories.</p>
<p>Ithaca College’s Parks School of Communications was very impressive and I am comfortable that he would also have gotten a good education there as well. If you are interested in writing and being on camera you might want to look into it – both journalism and the broadcast area are very strong there.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>According to theU:
Northwestern
Mizzou
UGA - University of Georgia
Ohio University
ASU - Arizona State
UNC Chapel Hill
Syracuse University
Harvard
UMD - UMCP
BU - Boston University
University of Kansas
NYU
Columbia</p>
<p>Check out USC. Annenberg offers majors in broadcast and print journalism (the two programs overlap a lot, so you won’t have to give up writing for being on camera or vice versa).</p>
<p>I love suggestions that start with, first just go to Yale. Yes that works for about .05% of all kids each year. Thanks for nothing.</p>
<p>LOL Barrons.</p>
<p>In the meantime…
Washington State University</p>
