Communications is a broad subject.  Some people have offered suggestions in broadcast communications or human relations.\n\nThere is written communication, audiovisual communication, corporate communication?\n\nDo you want to be a writer? On air talent? A producer?  Do you want to work in news, entertainment, the public sector?\n\nWhen you got your degree, what kind of courses did you take? What did you enjoy most?  What did you do to complete your projects?\n\nIf time and money were not a factor, what is your ideal job?  Who holds that job?  What did they do to qualify for that job?\n\nIf you're not sure what you want to do with your degree, make a list of everything you have done as a volunteer or a student project or a part-time job - what did you enjoy most?

Mass Communication is the term used to describe the academic study of various means by which individuals and entities relay information to large segments of the population all at once through mass media.\n\nThe best Mass Communicator is the person who relay information to population addressing their needs and expectations.\n\nMass Communication involves different types of studies;\n1- Study the population to be addressed\n2- Study the media which to be used for addressing\n3- Study the impacy of addressing\n4- Other relative studies (art of expression, art of design etc...)\n\nAs for the second part of the question, Universities that teach Journalism should have full detailed Mass Communication curriculum. As for India; I prefer that you refer to the ministry of education at your place to find out proper universities which are accredited to teach that curriculum.\n\nIn my opinion, people who study Mass Communication, should be leaders by nature. It is not the matter of getting a job and wait for salary to come. It is a career issue that should ensure growth and success, afterall should increase income.

Go for general studies first. What do you like to do. If you dont like math, then I hope you can write. Careers are full of one or the other. I am no good in math and decided to be a Mass Communications major specializing in Strategic Public Relations. In other words I make companies and people look good. Interested?

Your best option would be a degree in Communications or Journalism.  Look for a four-year program from an accredited university, preferably one that will offer you a Co-op placement (where you work and get paid at a real magazine during the summer).  You'll also want to look for opportunities to showcase your writing skills, from writing for the local newspaper to publishing an intelligent blog.

Usually, as others said, communications and journalism. Importantly, though, pick a school that has on-campus tv studios, so you can get involved in those. Also try to do a related internship or co-op. All of that will help you get your first job in this very competitive field.

I will be graduating with a degree in political science and entering public relations in entertainment, in may of 2006.  The bottom line is this, in a competitive field like public relations, what matters most is your experience.  Since you're looking for top 25 programs, you must have the GPA and high school resume to go to almost any school, so here's my advice:\n\n1) Pick a school in an area with corporations and businesses. \n2) Pick a school that has internship connections with these corporations.  !!!NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN INTERNSHIPS!!!\n\nThere's a debate in the industry whether or not a degree specific to PR even matters.  Some companies seek out liberal arts majors for PR jobs because they usually have better writing abilities and an overall better understanding of the world.  My advice, pick a major you love rather than one you think will accesorize a resume well, and write, write, write.  There's a lot of writing in this field.  Best of luck to you.

You could look into speech pathology. It is a great field with a lot of options. You would get to work with children who have communication disorders. This allows you to work in the schools, hospitals, private practices, etc. You are usually a vital component to part of a whole team of professionals and get to assert your advice and opinions. The work is really rewarding as you get to watch a child grow and develop. You may work with kids who have hearing problems, cleft palates, lisps, stuttering, autism, learning disabilities, etc. It's kind of like a puzzle and you have to figure it out and determine the best way to help.\n\nThe profession is a growing field and there are many job opportunities. The pay is really good and so are the hours.\n\nIf you are interested in the field, many colleges offer this program. You have to take a 4 year bachelors degree in communication sciences and disorders(CSD). Then you take a 2 years master's degree in speech pathology. After graduating, you do a year of supervised-paid work and then can become certified.\n\nCheck out www.nsslha.org or www.asha.org for more information.

You could try Peace Corps. You don't have to be right out of college to do it, and it's a real adventure. A lot of people get international jobs as a result of their volunteer service, especially if you learn another language fluently. \n\nSince you are a communications person, you also have a very marketable skill: writing. If you're out there and can write, someone will pick you up.\n\nThe best thing is that you meet a lot of like-minded people and make friends for life.

Some people get lucky and go into sports announcing with no college degrees. However, it is a good idea to get a degree or experience of some sort to start off.\n\nGo into Media Broadcasting to begin with. As you narrow the field to being a sports announcer, look for internships that involve sports announcing, etc.
