Broadcast Journalism
A.S. Degree
Broadcast Journalism is a high-energy, fast-paced career field. At TC3 you’ll benefit from a hands-on program that allows you to simulate the working environment in the classroom. TC3’s Broadcast Journalism sequence is as close as you can get to working as a journalist while still going to college. Students can concentrate their studies in television, radio or cross-train in both mediums. Our professional instructors (all of whom still work as broadcast journalists) bring the latest trends from the field into the curriculum.
