Which college best fits this criteria? PLEASE SUGGEST...

Applying to College

<p>Hi everyone,</p>

<p>I posted 3 threads before (not specifically related to this post) so I am not used to CC.</p>

<p>I am an international student .
I want to major in Journalism (probably double major in Media or PR)
I have some criteria that I am looking for in a college and would REALLY appreciate it if you helped me out! </p>

<p>-Tuition $30-$33k (excluding dorms, transportation, other expenses, etc..)
-Now here is the catch.. I really don't want a core curriculum (meaning that I don't want general education requirements- I really really hate math)</p>

<p>--I also have an important question : how important is ACEJMC accreditation? Does it make a difference? Pros and cons--(if any) </p>

<p>I have been searching for good universities that suit me for the past year or so but I am getting really confused as the deadlines are approaching.</p>

<p>My plan was to apply to University of Minnesota Twin Cities, U of Maryland-College Park , American University, Arizona State, U of Georgia, and U of Connecticut. As you can see they are all accredited and really good but the thought of GENERAL ED is killing me! </p>

<p>One more question: can I actually choose from different math courses in general ed? Like can I not take Calculus or pre-calc and take algebra, trig, and simpler maths instead?</p>

<p>Sorry that was REALLY long... Thanks a bunch.</p>

<p>Layla</p>

<li><p>The correct forum to ask about making a school list is College Search & Selection. This forum is for general questions about the admissions process.</p></li>
<li><p>The vast majority of US schools have some kind of gen ed requirements. I googled ‘open curriculum colleges’ and found this:</p></li>
</ol>

<p>[College</a> Lists / Open Curriculum - schools with more flexible curricula](<a href=“College Lists Wiki / Open Curriculum - schools with more flexible curricula”>College Lists Wiki / Open Curriculum - schools with more flexible curricula)</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Usually the gen ed requirements for a school will tell you which courses can be taken to fulfill the math requirement; or classes that meet requirements will be marked in the course catalogue. In other words, it will take some sleuthing of college websites to find out this information.</p></li>
<li><p>Your question about accreditation belongs on the Journalism Major forum.</p></li>
