CU Boulder communications major, should I go for it?

I'm starting to narrow down my college list and the communications program at CU Boulder caught my eye. Does anyone here know the quality of the program, internships, and the job opportunities after graduation?

CU Boulder's Media, Communication, and Information (CMCI) program is a robust one, known for its cross-disciplinary approach. The curriculum allows you to take a blend of theory-based and practical courses, giving you a comprehensive understanding of the communication field.

In terms of internships, you're in luck. Boulder’s location renders it an attractive place for media organizations and startups, especially those in advertising, PR, and tech. The CMCI annually hosts career fairs with many potential employers, so proactive students often find the resources to secure internships locally and beyond.

Regarding job opportunities, the university has an effective career services office that provides support in job placement after graduation. The CMCI has its own career services team dedicated to assisting students in finding internships and jobs. Boulder's proximity to Denver, a rapidly growing city with numerous job opportunities in communications and media, is an additional advantage.

Overall, if you're excited about the program and supportive learning environment, CU Boulder's communications major may be a great fit. However, consider the cost and financial aid options, as well as your personal circumstances and preferences before making a decision. Each student's college choice depends on more than just academic program quality, including campus culture, geographic location, extracurricular offerings, and more.
