Communications is a booming major in the information age. If you are a student considering a major in this multifaceted field, you have a lot to think about as you make the big decision. Here is some advice on how to choose the right communications program for you.

Figure out your field of interest and look for a program that best suits it. Communications is a big field encompassing different subjects depending on where you go. Before you start applying or even looking, consider what branch of the field interests you: film, journalism, speech, radio, advertising? Then break it down even further if you can. Are you interested in print or broadcast journalism, film theory or film production? This doesn't mean you need to specialize right away. It's just important to make sure if you have a special interest, you put yourself at a college or university where it's at least available for future reference.

You may find some communications schools put your area of interest outside their realm and in, say, their School of Arts and Sciences or a fine arts program. That may not be a reason not to apply as the program might still be great.
Consider what classes are required and offered. Every prospective student should check out the course catalog for their college of interest and also, take a look at what courses your major of interest requires and offers as electives. All undergrads have their slate of unrelated requirements (ick, math...) but you want to see what comes after that. Are the required classes for your major and the electives from which you can choose interesting and exciting to you or do they not seem like something you want to spend a semester studying? See if you can sit in on a class and see what it's like.
