$81,000 for a 10-Month Masters in Journalism @ Columbia??
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 16th, 2012 7:06 PM Author: pungent associate A friend who went to a TTT UG just graduated from the 10-month MS program in journalism from Columbia Journalism School.
He had to take out $81,000 in loans for this 10-MONTH program.
Is this credited? WTF?

But I had no idea it was a 10-MONTH program for $81k.
How the F is it worth it? |

I've heard that in journalism, if you got it you got it. If not, you don't. No point in getting an $81k 10-month masters degree.
But I don't know much about the field. |

Date: May 16th, 2012 7:31 PM Author: primrose zombie-like turdskin I think you're right. It seems to be a combination of native intelligence and skill combined with on the job learning. J-school may be right up there with law school in terms of higher education scams. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1950174&forum_id=2#20706086) |

Date: May 16th, 2012 7:33 PM Author: cream supple mother location The masters can be had for much less money at a comparable school reputation wise.
The only benefit of the masters is the connections one of the higher-end schools can deliver. But if you have the talent, it's pointless and if you don't have the talent, the degree won't help.
