Missouri is certainly among the best of the best. If you're really interested in pursuing life in the mags, I'd suggest the Magazine sequence @ Northwestern.

You also have to weigh some other factors. What is your undergrad degree in? Most master's programs in journalism are geared toward teaching people w/o journalism undergrad degrees the proper way to be a journalist.

And if you're really serious about the magazine industry, don't just look at the schools. Look at the towns they are in. If you pick a good school in a place that has a magazine like the one you want to work at, seek an internship there. You'll be ahead of where you'd be if you went to a great school but didn't get that experience.
