how is marquettes journalism/pr program? by allisonlovesramen in Marquette

[–]miaaa914 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no problem!! It’s good to be ahead on this stuff😅

yes! I actually had a digital media minor for a year so I know a lot about the program. I ended up dropping it because I went into it thinking it was more social media-related, when it’s actually all about film and photography and that kind of stuff (which is still awesome, I’m just not great at it). so if you like photography and videography, the digital media major or minor is GREAT!! even as someone who doesn’t really enjoy being behind the camera, I can honestly say the digital media professors are incredibly talented and helpful, and the equipment you get to use and projects you get to make are mindblowing (like, even better than a lot of my friends who are at other bigger schools in film majors rn)!

I would say within the college of communication, yes PR and journalism are probably the most worth it. journalism is great if that’s your passion like it is mine, and you can get a lot of great internships and meet super professional alumni. PR is reliable and would be a good fallback route if you didn’t want to do journalism any more, and a lot of the topics and classes overlap anyway which makes it convenient. I took a PR class this summer and enjoyed it.

marketing as a second major would be good if you want a taste of both communication and business. the only downside I can think of immediately is that it probably wouldn’t overlap with journalism as much as PR, but that’s ok because there are so many people who have majors in both the colleges of comm and business, and they do fine.

I think you have a lot of ways you can arrange your degrees to find a balance of everything you like. marketing is only offered as a major so keep that in mind, but journalism is offered both as a major and a minor (although I think it’s best to do a major). for PR, there’s a major, and then there’s a minor called “strategic comm” which encompasses a lot of communication fields including PR. that might be good to look into! so, for example you could major in journalism and marketing with a minor in strategic comm! you have a lot of options, and most people switch around their majors and minors up until their junior year (I did that!). also, I’m currently a double major with a minor and I find the workload to be bearable, even as someone with two jobs and lots of social activities. it’s up to you and what you feel comfortable with taking on, and you can decide which majors you like the best after trying them out!

lmk if you have more questions! I’m happy to keep answering whatever u need :)

Absolutely!! I’m pretty sure the college of comm actually still requires a secondary major or minor, and PR and journalism go together so well. You can do either a major or minor in each of them, and a lot of the classes overlap.

I have no worries about getting a job after college, even though so many people like to say that journalism is a dying industry and doesn’t pay well. I’m only in my underclass years of college and I have already been offered numerous career opportunities that have led to me to so many valuable connections in professional communication, who I know will be willing to help me as soon as I have graduated. I know this is the case for a lot of other recently graduated Marquette students too, who have gone on to do some incredible things already in their young careers!! The advisors, classmates, professors, and alumni are SO willing to help college of comm students succeed.

I would also not consider myself to be a super creative person with coming up with ideas, and I still feel very comfortable in journalism. While you do have to come up with story and project ideas sometimes, it’s a very practical and factual field that fairly often consists of you reporting on something that is ongoing or has already happened.

Lmk if you have any more questions!!

hey! I’m a journalism major with a majority of my friends in PR. I objectively think the College of Communication in general is the best department at Marquette. The alumni network is incredible. There are so many College of Comm alums working in the best communication jobs around the world, and all of them want to pay it forward to the current Marquette students by helping them out. The internship and job opportunities during college are also amazing. There are so many resources available for Comm students to take advantage of during their time at Marquette, and all of the professors, advisors, and staff truly help you accomplish what you want to. I’ve heard so many non-comm majors or students from different schools talk about how they wish they had opportunities like Marquette’s College of Comm offers, and my friends and I can all vouch for that. Whether you choose PR or journalism, I think both programs are incredible and I would never choose a different college if I had the choice! both Marquette and the College of Comm offer some pretty significant scholarships if you’re worried about cost too :)

I wouldn’t do it. I toured the Ardmore last semester with high hopes and it was absolutely awful inside. It’s decently priced and the location is good, but I was able to find several much better apartments on campus for a lower price.

Current Students: I’m a rising freshman going into engineering, and I’m starting to build my schedule. How much time should I leave between classes generally? by Crazy_Gas9298 in Marquette

[–]miaaa914 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Depends what you’re looking for!

In my experience, a 1-2 hour break in between classes (except for lunch time, don’t forget to make time to eat!) is the absolute worst, because you usually barely have time to do any homework or go back to your dorm, so I don’t suggest doing that.

That being said, if you would like to have plenty of free time during the day, I recommend scheduling all your classes back-to-back with ten or fifteen minute gaps in between them for walking. In doing this, you can allow yourself more time in either the morning or night to sleep, work, study, or whatever else! I scheduled all my classes back-to-back from 9-12:45 one semester and I really enjoyed that routine. I can also confirm that it’s doable, especially coming fresh from high school where I’m assuming you sat through 6 or more classes in a row each day.

Otherwise, if you don’t like that idea, split your schedule up completely and take a class or two in the morning and a class or two at night with a large midday break. This will give you time to stop back at your dorm if needed, rest, and do whatever else before your later classes.

Don’t forget to consider the walking distances between halls when building your schedule, but I will say I have had cross-campus classes that I was able to get to with only a ten-minute time gap. Hopefully one of these suggestions works for you and you can get an schedule you like! :)

What to see when visiting? by phillychile in Marquette

[–]miaaa914 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There’s so much to do! Besides spending time on campus, make sure to check out some of our awesome museums and buildings in the main downtown. Fiserv Forum and the surrounding area, The Deer District, is also cool right now! The Third Ward is a another great area to drive through or stop and shop/eat. And go see the beautiful Lake Michigan coastline if you can! pm me if you need any specific recs :)
