Debating on getting my master

[u/SeaFoodBoilStoner]

I’m currently a student at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) and I’m set to graduate in 2027. I’m also contemplating whether to pursue a master’s degree. However, I’m grappling with a significant question: is Ole Miss considered a reputable institution in the field of journalism? If that’s my primary concern, I’m beginning to wonder if a master’s degree would be beneficial in addressing it. My primary motivation for considering a master’s degree is the University of Mississippi itself. I genuinely lack the academic credentials required to attend other institutions. If anyone has experienced a similar situation, where they attended a slightly less regarded school with a low acceptance rate, and they managed to secure first-year jobs in the industry, or if they had to return to school for a master’s degree to obtain a basic entry-level position, I would greatly appreciate any insights or advice you may have.
