pretty terrible department. there are two tracks of students- research and pro-track. pro-track students are the "black sheep" of the department and do not receive any opportunities for funding or ta-ships. there is also only ONE graduate level class that is designated specifically for pro-track students, while there are TONS of courses available for the research students and they are the ones getting funding and TAships even though none of them have had professional media experience to teach news courses. when i was starting school here, i was told at orientation that the pro-track students were the "bastard stepchildren" in the department. they weren't kidding. in all honesty, i would never get another degree from this university again. i have not learned a thing. the students in my track are overlooked and the politics in general at this university are terrible. don't waste your time, it's simply not worth it.
