Which are the best journalism schools in the US?

Answer 1

The University of North Texas has an outstanding journalism program and several very famous alumni, not the least of which is Larry McMurtry, author of Lonesome Dove and many other best-selling works.

UNT is also home to the annual Mayborn Literary Nonfiction Writers Conference, which brings highly notable speakers like Joyce Carol Oates and many others.

I recommend that you choose whether you want to get an undergrad or graduate degree in journalism. Both start out at entry-level positions once you graduate.

Some people recommende getting an undergraduate degree in a specific area--like biology, politics, fashion, business--and getting a masters in journalism. That way you can write about an area in which you have an expertise.

But entry-level journalists -- no matter their education level -- usually start out on beats that cover a variety of topics. You have to be flexible and learn new things quickly.

Answer 2

Ames, Iowa, across the border from Southern Minnesota. It's the biggest school of journalism in the U.S. and most of the famous, to many to mention, journalists and writers have gone here along with many Nobel prize winners.

Answer 3

Columbia, Northwestern, University of Maryland, University of Missouri and Syracuse are all highly regarded. But many schools have good, solid journalism programs. From what I've seen, working hard on your school paper and getting great internships means more to employers than what school you got your degree from.
