Radio-Television-Film
The Radio, TV, and Film major (including Broadcast Journalism) instructs students in a wide variety of ways to understand the mass media. Production and writing courses teach students the basic skills necessary to work as media professionals. The majority of our upper-division courses focus on cultivating an understanding of the development of the mass media in the United States; on developing critical and analytical skills in interpreting media messages; and understanding business and corporate aspects of media industries. There is also a track specifically designed for those who wish to pursue a career in broadcast journalism. In addition, RTVF students have many opportunities to gain hands-on, practical media experience at Eagle Eye News, WEGL-FM 91.1 and several AU sports productions. When a RTVF student graduates from our program, she or he is ready to enter exciting and challenging media professions.
Careers
RTVF students go on to internships and jobs with ESPN, Miramax, Warner Bros., MTV, NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX and a host of other national, regional, and local media organizations. Past students are involved in all aspects of the media including broadcast news reporting and anchoring, radio, TV, and film production, station management and network executive positions.
