I’m in love with Ithaca’s Park School of Communications and the hands-on opportunities they offer. I want to make sure I have options, though. Anyone know schools that have similarly strong programs in communication, broadcast media, or journalism? I'm all about getting that practical experience!
That's fantastic that you've found a passion in the field of communications and are looking into programs that offer strong, hands-on experience!
Aside from Ithaca, you should consider schools like Syracuse University, which is well-known for its S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. Their programs are comprehensive and focus heavily on experiential learning.
Northwestern University is another top-notch choice with its Medill School of Journalism, Media, Integrated Marketing Communications offering deep dives into media and journalism.
Emerson College in Boston also stands out for its focus on communications and the arts, and it's known for providing students with ample practical opportunities.
University of Southern California has the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, which has great facilities and industry connections.
Each of these has a unique environment and culture, but they're all solid in terms of their communications programs and focus on real-world application. It's important that you consider not only the strength of the program but also the overall fit for you, which includes location, campus culture, and any other personal preferences you might have. Don't hesitate to reach out to admissions or current students to get a sense of what each program is like. I wish you the best of luck in finding a program that you'll love just as much as Ithaca's!
