You'll use our all-digital television studio and our two digital radio facilities. (And, plans are under way to leapfrog over HD technology and instead install a 4K video system, which would put you at the forefront of communications technology.)
You'll work on our latest video production gear. Our advanced video and audio editing systems. Our fully equipped audio production booth. The kinds of facilities you'll use when you land your first job. Actually, our facilities may be even better than what you'll be using when you graduate.
Once you have a broadcast communications degree, you'll be able to go a lot of places and do a lot of things:
Television or radio station manager
Program director
On-air personality
Advertising or sales
Go to graduate school.
You may even end up receiving an Emmy, just like Christine Wolski, a 1991 graduate, did, or an Edward R. Murrow Award, just like Jenn Lewke, a 2005 graduate.
You can watch a video on YouTube that students put together for Martin Luther King Day on our campus. Another project from our students was an informational video on the Bradford area for the Bradford Chamber of Commerce
