<p>patient: My d is looking towards the same type of field of study @ Vandy…Communications/media/journalism…(her other choice is not NU, but Newhouse)…still hasn’t decided</p>
<p>The way I see it, Vanderbilt will provide a more well rounded liberal arts education…that’s not to say that the approach is necessarily better, per se, but more well rounded…Major can be self-designed so that she can experience those communication and film/journalism type courses that she would like…along with any of the other offerings that exist…</p>
<p>That being said, communications and journalism are industries as much as they are “majors” in college; I would think that most any major at Vandy would allow one to attain internships and eventually full-time positions in the fields they desire…</p>
<p>I actually had a long conversation with the career placement center about this topic last week…PM me if you want details…very interesting…</p>
