Radio and Television Production

     The Humanities curriculum is designed to provide students with a rigorous introduction to the humanities as preparation for a variety of professions such as teaching, writing, law, film and communications. The curriculum attempts to balance the need for a broad background with an opportunity for an early experience in a particular branch of learning to foster greater depth of understanding.

     Opportunities to explore specialized areas are offered as options in cinema studies, communications, creative writing, English, foreign language and philosophy. Each option provides students with a solid background for transfer to baccalaureate programs in a chosen field.

     Entering students should have an 80 or above high school average. Students already enrolled in college should demonstrate a minimum 3.0 GPA and can be admitted fall or spring.

     The Radio and Television Production curriculum, a two-year program leading to the degree of Associate in Applied Science, is designed for those who plan careers in video and sound or related industries. Three sound production studios, a 1200-square-foot television studio, electronic field production equipment, digital filmmaking, a student run internet radio station, 4K editing studio, remote television production truck and non-linear editing suites provide state-of-the-art facilities to create sophisticated programs. Coupled with the general education courses required for the degree, graduates can enter the industry immediately or continue their studies at the university level.

     Entering students must have a minimum high school academic average of 75, including a 75 average in English. Students already enrolled in college must have successfully completed a minimum of 12 credits with a cumulative grade point average of 2.5. Courses are offered in the daytime only. This program is highly competitive and requires strong interpersonal relationship skills. RTV101, RTV102, and RTV111 are open to all students and can be taken as unrestricted electives.
