>I think Journalism is a great dual major choice (or maybe just a minor), with whatever it is you want to study, particularly if its in conjunction with engineering, computer science, physics, biology, finance / accounting etc. Why?
Just working for the college paper isn't a bad alternative. Honestly, at this point, having been involved with several college papers and having done a lot of writing is probably way more valuable than any individual engineering class I've ever taken. (Though I certainly wouldn't dismiss what I learned with my engineering degrees in their totality if not in the specifics.)
ADDED: Didn't have a journalism minor per se but there was a lecturer (had been a senior editor at Newsweek, etc.) in undergrad who ran a Friday morning basically seminar where he brought in all sorts of interesting journo-related guests. It wasn't (for obvious reasons) literally limited to people on campus newspapers. But a 9am Friday slot kept most of the riff-raff out :-) (And every now and then someone else would wander in and wonder how everyone else in the room knew each other.)
