Question

has anyone heard anything about rowan university or its journalism program? good or bad, i dont care just let me know.

Answer 1

It is a medium sized state school in South Jersey. It doesn't rank among the Great Universities -- but isn't a place you should be embarrassed about going to, either. It was originally a Normal School (Teacher's College). It is probably best known as being the site of a meeting between LBJ and the Russian Premier during the late 1960s (when it was called Glassboro State).

The average SAT store is about 1100. They have a Journalism School -- but it isn't ranked.

Given that the University of Minnesota has one of the best journalism schools in the world, and the average SAT score there is only 100 points higher, I'd say that someone considering Journalism at Rowan could do better.

Answer 2

Rowan University was a pretty friendly college when I started there in the late 90s. However, the atmosphere changed over time.

I must say Rowan is strong in communications (journalism), very strong in engineering, and rising fast with it's business program.

However, the students at Rowan seem to walk around like zombies. Everyone is in their own world and seem apathetic to what's happening around the world. When September 11th happened it seemed like business as usual on that campus.
Additionally, their Career and Academic Planning department is invisible.

Hopefully the campus has changed again, this time for the best, but I'm warning you if you want the full "college experience", you should keep your options open to other schools.

Answer 3

I applied last year in August also, I did not find out until the end of March. If you call, they can tell you if they've made a decision, but they will not tell you what that decision is. One of the things Rowan really looks for is involvement in your community and school, so if you have that and average SAT scores, you really have nothing to worry about
