Which NJ school for Journalism Major?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I'm currently in my second year at community college in New Jersey and am starting to consider where I'd like to transfer to. I know that I want to major in Journalism, and I also know that I want to stay in New Jersey. </p>

<p>Two schools that I'm considering which both offer journalism majors are Rutgers-New Brunswick and Ramapo College. I could commute to Ramapo, but for Rutgers, I'd have to live on campus which I'd honestly rather not do. I'd rather stay home, work and save money, and I'm sure I could get a scholarship which would cover most of my tuition at Ramapo. Also, I'm saving my money for grad school!</p>

<p>I'm honestly not too concerned about getting "the college experience". My main concern is choosing a school which offers more in the journalism field. </p>

<p>So if anybody knows, does Rutgers have a significantly better Journalism program than Ramapo? Are there any other schools in New Jersey which would be a better pick for me? Any other advice would also be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Thanks :)</p>

<p>For academic quality, Rutgers will indeed be above Ramapo. </p>

<p>Also, if you’re wanting to go for a PhD, most schools (? or at least the top schools) cover your expenses for your degree for you.</p>

<p>I believe Rutgers would be the better choice for your education. Are you on the stars program? </p>
