<p>Welcome :)</p>
<p>AU’s journalism department is fantastic – sporting impressive alumni who are news anchors, producers and a vice president of the Washington Post. There are loads of internships available in both online, print, media (video/photo) journalism around the city – anything you could possibly think up. The SOC is a wonderful school, with classrooms set up to mirror a board-room environment that you’ll encounter once you graduate. The ONLY con is that the school newspaper is…a joke. It’s fairly widely read but doesn’t have much hard hitting journalism, and the current Editor in Chief is not even a journalism major. Maybe you could change that?</p>
<p>As for CompSci, I know the facilities are good and that the people who do major in it are happy with their choice. I just wouldn’t say that people COME here for that or that you’ll receive loads of special recognition (like this year, one of the nation’s Truman scholars was an AU journalism student). But AU is all about what YOU do with the resources they give you.</p>
<p>And yes, you are more than able to major in different colleges. I actually don’t know many people who double major in the same school (excluding the College of Arts and Sciences because it’s so broad) – because there is a lot of overlap in information.</p>
<p>Let me know if you have any other questions.</p>
