You will read about the excellent facility and state-of-the-art technology in their promotional material however, the faculty is ill prepared to use the high-technology. Additionally, the facilities are poorly managed leaving little time to access the labs, etc. outside of class.

The faculty structure (union conflicts and intra-departmental politics) spills over into the classroom. Department heads' hands are tied and can't deal with the incompetence of their subordinates.

There are several excellent part-time associate professors, however many of the full professors do not take any real interest in their student’s welfare.

Examples of poor teaching in the Grad Journalism Dept.:
• A teacher that is not familiar with Web design teaches from a "how-to" book on Dreamweaver
• A professor that instructs journalism students to "embellish" the facts and "feed" your interviewees quotes.
• More than one professor who agrees to write recommendation letters but does not follow through. Other professors who tell students that such requests are a "pain in the ass"
• Computerized TV studio equipment that are down for 20% of a semester’s classes.
• Several professors who extinguish students desire to succeed by providing limited encouragement and extensive criticism.
• Financial services office that has yet to complete a request correctly on first try.

Good place for Broadcast Journalism students to get makeup advice but don't try to get a demo tape or decent clips from any class work done here.

This school is a total joke. I went to BU for u-grad and Emerson for grad and if you have the choice go to BU or anywhere else besides Emerson.
