Television Production
The Television Production (Broadcasting) concentration in the Visual and Sound Media program teaches students to express themselves visually by creating original video projects. Students learn visual techniques and all aspects of production management. Courses are taught in a television studio environment, as well as in field situations. All facilities, including the television study, radio station, editing and sound production labs are exclusively dedicated to student use, and are available to students as early as the first semester.
Co-curricular activities like PirateTV and WSOU 89.5 FM offer unparalleled experiential learning opportunities as early as the first semester of enrollment. Students are highly encouraged to intern in the New York City television industry. Graduates pursue careers as television producers, directors, editors along with other industry-related employment opportunities.
