 Radio-TV Broadcasting provides students with the skills necessary
for positions of employment in local and regional radio and television
stations. Students receive hands-on training with much of the same equipment
found in today's broadcast industry. Upon completion of a Radio-TV degree,
students will be able to write news, sports, commercials and promotional
announcements for use on radio and television; to function as radio/television
announcers; and to operate a state-of-the-art digital audio management
system, a non-linear digital video editing system and a radio control console.
Students will also be proficient in the effective techniques of radio and
television sales and will be able to operate an assortment of video production
equipment. For those interested, training in sports play-by-play is also
available. Experience is obtained on the college FM stereo radio station,
through work in the non-broadcast television studio, by using television
field equipment and through the use of audio and video digital editing
systems. Internships at local radio and television stations are available.
For those interested in transferring to Southern Illinois University at
Carbondale or Eastern Illinois University, a specific curriculum can be
designed. |
