Magazine Proposal

My magazine title would be called, Major Decisions. Students these days try to research what school has what major, and how good or what ranking is that school in that particular field. This magazine will go in depth into all state and university schools to determine what school has what majors and their ranking in each major. Students often research what school are good at what, but often  different websites and  different magazines have different rankings. Some students might see a well known school in the top 5 in one category of a major, and then on another site or magazine that school won't even crack the top ten. Our magazine will have researchers and scholar appraisals. Our magazine will go into each and every major that every school contains, and will provide critical information about them.  Our target will be students starting from age 16-18 to 28-30, of course to both males and females. Obviously our magazine is open to people of older ages as well, but these ages will be our main target.  Income level, ethnicity, race, religion also make no difference. We want to aim to help every student without any variables. Our competitors include well known magazines such as U.S. Magazine, Business Weekly, and Forbes.  The difference with my magazine is that we dedicate and devote all our time researching schools, majors, and each schools rankings in the U.S. . While our competitors have so many other topics to cover it will be tough for them to spend too much time into particular schools and majors. They will obviously do their research on the a few of the impacted majors and the obvious schools. My magazine will have thorough information and facts about every major of every school, including the majors specialty. For example a student wants to do business, but once you do business their are so many different fileds like accounting, finance, international management, etc. We would excel in the specialty of majors, because our biggest competitors only go over the broad fields. Some advertisers may include, government grants, scholarships. housing, books, and online schools or degrees. We will have a variety of articles on the premier issue. The first articles will be on how our magazine beat out our top competitors. Second will be about which majors make the most money. Third will be an article trying to help you find a major for your career. What are the best schools for your particular major will be our fourth article. Our last article will talk about schools for "B" and "C" students.

  1. Sounds good, nice cover. Would it be annual, like U.S. News and World Reports college ranking, or more often?
