I have just been accepted to the School of Communication graduate department for my Masters in Mass Comm/Media. I applied and was accepted to three different state schools and San Diego was the best out of all of them. The communication with Faculty and staff was amazing and reassured me that I was choosing the right school. Faculty allowed me to call them at home durring the process as well as current graduate students. All of my questions were answered right away....CANT WAIT TO START!

Communications
In response to the individual who dislikes the graduate history program at SDSU, I am replying in agreement. I applied to the graduate history program and never got a response back because my application was not received by the graduate committee on time, despite the fact that I TURNED IT IN BY THE MAY 1ST DEADLINE. The graduate adviser is the most incompetent faculty member in the history department. And the school is very much cheap and does not make the effort to hire tenure track Ph.Ds with loads of experience. My advice is to give some of the part timers full-time status (there are some individuals who are worthy of that honor). I doubt that some of the retired professors are "broken men and women" because two of them had quite successful teaching careers and one of them happens to be my favorite professor.
In the end, U. of San Diego, UC San Diego, and Pepperdine are on my top graduate school lists. SDSU is one of my last picks for grad school because I simply refuse to work next to a graduate adviser who cannot figure out or work with the graduate admissions office to find out why or how my application never made it to the committee on time.

History/Histories (art history/etc.)
Run-don't walk-to another graduate school for history! The budget has destroyed this program. No meaningful seminars are available. You will probably be taught by some overworked part-timer because they are too cheap to hire tenure track faculty at this school. You will probably get rounded up with other overloaded grads to teach undergrad courses at high workload and low pay. The old-timers are finishing up their careers here as broken men and women who see a stupider class of freshmen coming to SDSU every year. If you like belly rings, flip-flop girls and shredder boys, this is the school for you. If you want a grad program you can be proud of...move on!

History/Histories (art history/etc.)
This is an excellent univerrsity and I would recommend it to anyone who likes 75 degree weather year-round. i personally hate the sun (I'm more of a Pacific Northwest kind of a guy) but the school makes it worth it.
