Broadcast Production

Never in the history of the world has there been a more exciting time to study communications. Technology changes at the speed of light and employers demand trained people. Women are needed to become producers and directors in the television and radio field. At TC3, you'll benefit from a hands-on program and work with professional instructors who bring the latest technology and techniques straight from the field into the classroom.

Broadcast Production Training at TC3

The A.A.S. degree in broadcast journalism (radio or television concentration) at TC3 is designed to place you directly into the workplace, but students in this program can transfer to a four-year school. The curriculum is hands-on and project focused. Classes are designed to be as real world as possible; they create projects for real clients with real deadlines. While the program is technology based, students have tremendous artistic freedom in all areas of the program and frequently use their creative talents.

Many students with an A.A.S. degree in this field are employed straight out of the program. Graduates of this program may consider communications programs at several four-year schools in New York state.
