I'm currently a Musical Theater major and have realized that although I love performing, there's much more I want to do. I'm looking for colleges in the NYC/Philadelphia areas where I can major in Communications and still minor in theater or at least take theater classes... anyone know about Marymount's communication's department?

what do you want to do in communication? I applied to Ithaca (for film) but did not get in. Looking back on it was not a good choice. Although, the program was strong it is not close to nyc which is a problem for internships etc. I ended up going to Drexel and we have a very strong program here plus it has a built-in internship junior year. I think sometimes you need to look past the "brand name" schools and see which one has the best to offer.

Yeah I have the same question. What do you wanna do in Communications? Is it just to make your parents happy because if you want to act, act. I understand someone might want to have a practical degree to fall back on, but communications really isn't one of those. So what are your plans?

MFL, that was going to be my answer also (from reading the thread title).

I have to agree with Northwestern. It's my number one, and for those reasons.

Having said that, please don't apply. :)

Kind of hard to beat Temple University.

I have a B.A. in Theatre and went to law school. I am not sure if a BFA would suffice for law school.

Ditto Northwestern - I was a Communications major and worked in the theater dept, so let me know if you have any questions!
