B.A. in Broadcast Media

Imagine your morning drive… listening to your favorite radio station and hearing your favorite morning announcer. Do you ever want to voice your opinion on air and/or spread your faith through the airways? What about on the daily news? Have you ever wanted to be Diane Sawyer or Brian Williams? This major will teach you the ins and outs of Radio and Television. Students will learn theoretical and practical skills in settings that integrate professional equipment and on-air studios with Christian values. You will also be trained on top of the line editing equipment, including Final Cut Pro and Avid Editing Software.
