Yes, I attend OU but I've been here all of 3 weeks and I really don't have insider information on the political communication program, other than that they have one and faculty have interests in it. My area of study does not fall within the political realm and I doubt I will have much interaction with the faculty who focus in that area.

I always considered myself a sociologist but ended up in a Comm program because a professor there does identical research to mind. The academic switch is tough for me mentally - I still tend to think of things in soc terms. That said, sociology as a field is running a deficit and graduating few new PhDs each year than they have retiring. If you want to be an academic, sociology offers a lot of opportunity.

I love Lenovo products. I used to think I wanted a mac until I bought a Lenovo. Their keyboard is the best to type on of any computer I've ever used. And their customer service is absolutely outstanding.

I don't know their ranking but if you are looking at political communication you should consider the University of Oklahoma. They have a Political Communication Center and many of the faculty have political communication interests/publications. http://pcc.ou.edu/

I only applied to The University of Oklahoma and have been accepted. I'm on a waiting list for an assistantship, though, so I'm a bit concerned about funding.

My husband's mentor movd to UWM about 10 years ago and is really good. Because of that I seriously considered applying to the program myself, but I focus on disaster communication and OU is a better fit for me.
