Missouri - Columbia is the best, but if you want good academics all-around, then it’s Northwestern. Syracuse is great, especially for broadcast, print is good too. I would also like to restate Ohio, USC, GWU, NYU. There is no question that Columbia University is the best for grad school.

As for your other questions, I’m just going to tell you what other journalists have told me. It is very easy to pursue journalism without having to major in it. Some of our best journalists are those who study something else in college. People hiring see it as only beneficial if you study something else that you are interested in, like business or politics. This is especially true if you want to pursue print journalsim, no one is going to care what you studied in college if you know how to write.
