Broadcasting Curriculum
Admissions Requirements
To enter the broadcasting concentration a student must have, and maintain, an overall grade point average (GPA) of 2.5. Students are strongly urged to declare communications/broadcasting as their major early so that they can be partnered with a faculty advisor/mentor. There are a number of courses that must be taken in sequence for success in the program.
