trying to cut down my list, which schools WOULD you eliminate?

I would reexamine your idea that journalists don’t need to major in journalism. Technically true, maybe. From what I understand internships are one of the biggest ways to get into journalism, and you won’t get journalism internships if you’re not a journalist.



If you attend a school that offers journalism as a major, I agree, not majoring in journalism when you want to become a journalist is silly. However, you shouldn’t turn down an acceptance to a great school that doesn’t offer journalism as a major solely for that reason. There are plenty of journalists that didn’t major in journalism in college.

As long as you write for your school newspaper and get some experience with internships, breaking into the field won’t be more difficult than it should be.
