Take a look at Whartons niche programs like the Huntsman program , or one of their many concentrations to help inform your path If finance is your thing, take it a step further. Its also important to stay current: newspapers, magazines, trade publications, and podcasts are great ways to track developments in your future field.
Finally, take a look at whether the schools offer any concentrations that match your interests.

Students must also pick a concentration outside of Journalism. Courses include Audio and Digital News Writing, Reporting and Producing.
