Hi guys, Is there any one who has a ranking data for advertising / mass communication Ph.D Program? I know ranking is not all about good schools, but it will be very helpful and saving time to find good schools roughly. I have MS Excel file (NCA survey result about Ph.D Program in Communication and Mass Comm), but I think there would be some other simple ranking data somewhere. (NCA data is very complicated) And is there any one who purchased US&News ranking data? I am not sure whether the data includes communication or mass comm. On their web site, there isn't. Thanks guys!

Hi guys, I am a grad student (IMC, MA) and I would like to enter into a doctorate course on advertising or mass communication. My research interests are advertising, brand, and ad through social media. I have been searching for good schools fit to me, but I wonder how you guys search for the school fit to you. I am not American and I do not know quite well about how to do it. I found NRC ranking data and some good schools in terms of reputation and research production. However, it is hard to find more schools fit to me. I think there would be some schools which do not have excellent rankings but have great courses and faculties. Could you give me advice a basic process or basics to find great schools fit to me? (It's okay to let me know very very very basic thing because I am not familiar with anything about Ph.D in US) Thanks! Have a great day!
