<p>I don't know if PR and Communications are similar or not but I was thinking about what my strengths were today and I came to realize that I am really great with people and I like dealing with people. </p>
<p>What would one major in if he or she is seeking to become like a PR Director or something? And what are some schools that are good for that field?</p>
<p>Are there schools that are good for both Pre-med AND Communications? Maybe I can major in one and minor in another. (Wishful thinking here! LOL)</p>
<p>Anyhow, any suggestion/comment is appreciated! :)</p>
<p>WEll first, with Public Relations, do you want to go into Web, Television, Radio, Marketing/Advertisement, or Politics, public relations is pretty broad, and many school do better in different areas...</p>
<p>the only clearthing is that Northwestern will have the best package overall for you.</p>
<p>I wanna go into like Media/Advertising.</p>
<p>University of Southern California has an excellent School of Communications. I believe UC Berkeley does also. By way of another route, Pomona College for example has a Media Studies major.</p>
<p>To broaden your search, look for colleges that have communications, media and film departments. also, if you are interested in advertising, schools with Business Admin. departments often have marketing majors. Again, I believe USC has any and all of these majors for a place to start your search.</p>
<p>And if you're torn between the pre-med and communications route in addition to the media studies major, Pomona has amazing stats in terms of med school acceptance.</p>
<p>To get a list of schools with these various majors and with many searches if you start with something as simple as a Google search, you'll be amazed at what you can find. There's also a website that I think is called college recruiting.com and you plug in whatever parameters, majors etc. and you get a list of all schools that fit the description. Good luck</p>
<p>The best resources for me was PrincetonReview.com, the counselor -o-matic is a great tool that will give you a good idea for reaches, matches, & safeties...they seperate tem for you too.</p>
<p>Syracuse University's S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications</p>
<ol>
<li>Facilities</li>
<li>Profs who are tops in their field with recent real-world experience</li>
<li>Look at the grads....amazing</li>
<li>Internship opprtunities, especially in NYC over the summer</li>
</ol>
<p>USC, Boston University, American University, Syracuse, Northwestern, UT-Austin</p>
<p>I feel like I'm beating a dead horse with this one, but pre-med is not a major. A person could easily major in communications AND be pre-med, so long as he/she takes the required basic science courses.</p>
<p>I presume the same applies for Pre-Law?</p>
<p>I agree, Syracuse Newhouse is excellent.</p>
