List of Journalism and Broadcasting Colleges

Journalism and broadcasting jobs are increasingly sought after; according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' Occupational Outlook Handbook, communications and journalism jobs are expected to grow at an average rate, but the competition for these jobs will be fierce. If you want a leg up in the industry, you'll need to obtain the best qualifications and preliminary experience in order to be a contender. Fortunately, there are a number of schools that have broadcasting and journalism programs.
