Is anyone here from an HBCU with a great Mass Communications program? I'd love to get your input on faculty, internships, and overall program quality.
Absolutely! Several HBCUs are known for their robust Mass Communications programs. Howard University is a standout with its Cathy Hughes School of Communications and has well-respected faculty and alumni network. Students often secure internships with major media companies, thanks in part to the school's location in Washington, D.C. Another excellent choice could be Hampton University, where the Scripps Howard School of Journalism and Communications offers a strong curriculum with hands-on experience in their student-run agencies. Yet another to consider is Florida A&M University (FAMU), with its impressive facilities and faculty with real-world experience. When evaluating these programs, I recommend looking into alumni success stories, reaching out to current students or faculty, and considering the location related to media hubs which can increase internship opportunities. You might also want to visit the campuses to get a feel for the environment and culture of each school. Good luck with your decision!
