Telecommunication Studies
Major

A major in the telecommunication studies curriculum provides in-depth knowledge and intellectual challenge in electronic communication. Students receive practical orientation to the skills and techniques of broadcasting. Further, they explore contemporary theories and problems which are central to telecommunications media, as well as examine new communication media.

From a liberal arts perspective, the telecommunication studies curriculum is designed to aid the student in pursuit of careers not only in broadcasting but also in recently expanding avenues of communication such as non-commercial broadcasting, corporate communications, industrial communications, cablecasting, and independent production. Internships are available in media organizations to students of superior academic achievement.
