Boston University College of Communication

BU's College of Communication was founded in 1947. Degrees offered include mass communication, tv/film, print/broadcast/photo journalism, public relations, and advertising, among others. With notable alumni like Howard Stern and Bill O'Reilly, it is not hard to see that a COM degree can take you places. Advertising majors can take part in AdLab, the U.S.'s oldest and largest ad agency run by students with real-world clients. Young journalists learn under award-winning professionals with vast experience in the field - many work or have worked for the Boston Globe, the Associated Press, and a myriad of other publications and wire services from across the country. Many students complete internships in their fields, both in Boston and abroad. Though not part of the College of Communication, Boston University offers a television station, BUTV10, which produces "Bay State," America's oldest college soap opera, and several other programs. "The Daily Free Press," BU's independent student newspaper, is one of the widest circulating publications in the city. In and out of the classroom, COM students have a chance to get experience that will make them successful in whatever field they choose.
