The Broadcasting Program

Students in the Broadcasting program study digital audio and video production techniques, including nonlinear editing, post-production, animation, web and multimedia graphics, and sports. WIUS-FM gives students the opportunity to put into practice learned skills.

They also examine the impact of history, law, and programming on broadcasting, cable, and satellite operations. Graduates of the program enter various careers in television, radio, cable, satellite, and post- production operations including directing, producing, reporting, on-air
talent programming, sales, advertising, sports, and post production.

All students taking a broadcasting class that requires writing or a lab of any sort must adhere to our attendance policy.
