Broadcast Production

The major in broadcast production focuses on the skills required to produce, direct, and operate complex video equipment for multi-camera sports, news, musical performances, and other reality-based programs in the studio or on location. Students gain hands-on experience with digital media technologies, professional cameras, multi-tiered switchers, audio mixers, and other studio equipment and learn to work on large- or small-scale scripted, reality, sports, game shows, e-sports, and other live or post-produced programs.

You will become immersed in the journalism and multimedia production world through classroom and extracurricular opportunities. The degree focuses on developing reporting, editing and producing skills across all media platforms.

You'll also gain proficiency in the use of professional digital editing technologies and professional-level radio and television studios. All majors acquire a thorough understanding of the legal requirements and ethical implications of journalism and media production.
