<p>hey, i'm looking for PUBLIC universities that offer great journalism/communication programs... i know that syracuse, northwestern, and usc have great programs, but they're all private schools. i heard that U Missouri-Columbia has a good journalism program, but are there any other state universities that have great programs?</p>
<p>University of Maryland- College Park is pretty good. </p>
