I love my school (Clemson) and my major (communications), but I’ve always wanted to at least see what a journalism school has to offer. After, I can see why the Missouri School of Journalism gets so much hype. Greg Bowers, sports editor of The Missourian, was the perfect tour guide for our walk around the journalism school. The history, the resources, and the opportunities available at the J-school here are amazing. The newspaper, television and radio station all are first class, and being surrounded by so many like-minded journalists of my generation in the Sports Journalism Institute here is something I haven’t had the opportunity to experience on a daily basis.
While I feel that Clemson has prepared me for my career in many ways, I also am thinking that earning a masters in a professionally oriented program (as opposed to a research orientation) might be beneficial down the line. I’ve been told there’s no one right way to become a successful journalist, and I think the grad school path just could be a good one for me. Missouri had been on my radar for quite some time, and I’m proud to say it will stay there.
