Did you ever use a hairbrush as a microphone and pretend to be a radio DJ or TV personality? Well, our broadcast communications major can help you get there for real. And you’ll use a real mic. 

You’ll use our all-digital television studio and our two digital radio facilities. You’ll work on our latest video production gear. Our advanced video and audio editing systems. Our fully equipped audio production booth. The kinds of facilities you’ll use when you land your first job. Actually, our facilities may be even better than what you’ll be using when you graduate.   

Once you have a broadcast communications degree, you’ll be able to go a lot of places and do a lot of things. Work in radio or television production. Be an on-air personality. Work in advertising or sales. Or, go to graduate school.
