<p>I'm not looking for the top-notch ones, I do not have the stats for those (GPA 3.5, 1250 SAT, etc...) , so just looking for some average schools with top PJ programs, a few that I know are Ohio, RIT, Western Kentucky, are there any others that are decent?</p>

<p>My S took a summer photojournalism program at George Washington U, and here are the schools the experts recommended: Missouri, Ohio, Boston U, Syracuse, Western Kentucky, Arizona State, and UNC Chapel Hill. I would add the University of Texas-Austin and the University of Florida. RIT's program is good, but was not oriented enough toward liberal arts for my S. Ditto art schools like the Corcoran School of Art & Design and others.</p>

<p>Check the Hearst awards site and see what schools the winners come from: <a href="http://www.hearstfdn.org/hearst_journalism/competitions.php?year=2007&type=Photo%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.hearstfdn.org/hearst_journalism/competitions.php?year=2007&type=Photo&lt;/a> Look back in the archives for previous years, and you'll get a good idea of what schools are producing award-winning student photojournalists. (And their work is really impressive!)</p>

<p>According to RIT's Photojournalism website, "Ten of our alumni have been awarded the Pulitzer Prize for photojournalism."</p>

<p>geezermom, was it Arizona State or The University of Arizona that the people at George Washington U recommended? I've heard UA was good but not much about ASU.</p>
