What are the universities with the best writing programs?
I want to become a future journalist, and I was looking at a few schools. If you could include a link to the school website, it would be helpful as well 
If you are interested in a career as a journalist you need both good writing and good research skills. I wouldn’t look at just writing programs but a social science discipline that interests you a good school will teach you both good writing and good research. Think about a degree in Political Science for instance. When I got my undergrad degree, in Sociology, many of the classes I took required a 20 page research paper. I learned writing and research.
You can also write for the school newspaper when you are in school so you can put together a portfolio of your clippings. This will help you land a job after you graduate.
As for schools consider any of the members of the American Association of Universities http://aau.edu/ these are the tops schools in the country.
