Again, Baylor is NOT a cheap school to attend unless you are able to get a lot of scholarships/grants to go there, but it is very much worth going and I have known several people to double-major in FDM and Journalism there.
Baylor was also the first film program to offer classes on HD production.
Major in what you WANT to major in, network until your brains fall out, and practice and hone your craft as much as possible. Don't let people tell you that you shouldn't major in something you know you want to major in just because the job market isn't ideal. It's better to enjoy your classes and get good grades as a film major than it is to hate your classes and end up depressed and failing them as a business major of some sort. Believe me, it is MUCH easier to do projects/homework and go to class when you're interested in what you're learning.|||For the record, a rather inexpensive school you might want to look into is Southern Illinois University - Carbondale. I've heard good things about their film/radio/tv program. University of North Texas and UT-Austin are other options.

|||The only "cheap" civilian universities for a student are the public universities of the student's state of residence. (There are about five exceptions, but they do not have good film programs or, likely, any film programs.)
There are so many more university graduates in all aspects of film then there are job openings that even graduates of NYU, UCLA, and University of Southern California, which have the only film schools worth attending, often cannot find steady work in the film industry.
The job prospects for journalists, copy editors, and web content editors are as bad or are only slightly better.
Sorry for the bad news.|||You need better counseling. All your career choices: Film, Journalism, and Communications, often end with living on the street in a cardboard box.
A Communications degree may occasionally get you a job at Taco Bell.|||I know that Watkins is a great film college, only I'm not sure if they offer communications/journalism, but they do have writing classes, so who knows?
