| My S will be a freshman at Mizzou this fall (photojournalism/convergence). I admit that like you, I had to be converted to the j-school idea, but now I'm sold. Though Mizzou provides solid hands-on education, the program is also grounded in liberal arts, with a foundation of courses required for journalism majors. Maybe your daughter can combine science and broadcast journalism--an interesting field. My S will be a Journalism Scholar and is in the Honors College. We're impressed by the opportunities available there. If you have more questions later in the fall, please post again, or send a PM. And be sure to visit the campus, which is impressive. The school attracts a lot of California kids--it's among the biggest "feeder" states.
The Newhouse School at Syracuse also has good broadcast journalism. My S chose Mizzou over Newhouse for a variety of reasons, but he still liked it a lot. |
