<p>I believe the film school was ranked #24 in the world by Hollywood Reporter in 2011, but seems to have dropped out of their top 25 list in 2012.</p>
<p>anyone have a list for USN 2013?</p>
<p>FWIW, the newest Hollywood Reporter ranking just moved the film school (within the School of Communications) up to 13. As earlier posted, last year it was off their list (of the top 25) completely.</p>
<p>The Princeton Review Ratings just put NU’s Theatre school at #4, but their ratings are based on surveys of each student body’s opinion of their own school so I don’t place much stock in them. For example, Yale outscored NU even though Yale’s reputation in Theatre is based almost solely on its graduate programs, and Wagner outscored NU although among industry folks the schools aren’t in the same league.</p>
<p>The new M.S. in Management Studies (The Russell Fellows Program) is available to NU undergrads only. So it is essentially a 5-yr BA/MS or BS/MS program.</p>
<p>[M.S</a>. in Management Studies | Kellogg School of Management | Northwestern University](<a href=“http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/programs/russell-fellows.aspx]M.S”>Master in Management | Kellogg School of Management | Kellogg School of Management)</p>
<p>The program should be more rigourous than other undergrad business programs but it is not as math-intensive and narrow as Kellogg certificate.</p>
<p>According to the website, only educational loans are available for FA. But the $17 million gift may change that.

<p><a href=“Kellogg Receives $17 Million Gift From Estate of Alumnus - Northwestern Now”>Kellogg Receives $17 Million Gift From Estate of Alumnus - Northwestern Now;
<p>This is very confusing. The Theatre Department and Journalism School have long standing history for being considered among the very best in the nation.</p>
<p>^Those magazines don’t rank these fields.</p>
<p>Are these updated?</p>
<p>My friend (who’s a senior in high school this year, just like me) told me that he was accepted to Northwestern’s honors program. Seeing as we both declared engineering as our major, is there an honors program in engineering? I looked it up on the website but I couldn’t find anything for incoming students, only a page saying that juniors in college could apply to the honors program. Does anybody know anything about this?</p>
<p>Honors program in Engineering is only for Junior year students.</p>
The freshpeople engineering honors you heard about are likely the honors Engineering Analysis (EA) classes, where students in the classes take more-rigorous versions of the sequence classes and take 2 of the 4 classes of the sequence in their third quarter at NU, thereby finishing the EA sequence in only three quarters.
I’m not familiar with the EA classes, but know for a fact that Northwestern doesn’t have an Honors Program the way state schools do. They also don’t offer merit aid. The reasons are the same. There is no need to woo qualified applicants so homogeneous groupings aren’t necessary or desirable.
NU does offer merit aid for some chosen ones!
@NorthwesternDad - If you don’t mind my asking, did the recipient of “Merit” aid also apply for financial aid?
That I am not aware! Sorry
It’s Friday, don’t forget to wear NU shirt to school guys!
