Electronic Media
Build a portfolio of work that television and radio production employers seek.
Learn to record, create and edit audio and video content for a variety of media as early as your first month on campus.
Throughout the curriculum, you’ll learn to use cameras, audio mixers, microphones, and other industry-standard technology to create professional quality productions both in and out of the classroom, complete hands-on experiential coursework, work for numerous on-campus electronic media outlets, and freelance with video production and creative services teams in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and the surrounding area.
Outside of class, you can join the remote production crew for various weekly shows in our television studio or practice live from a fully equipped television production truck that covers numerous events each semester, including football and basketball games as well as community events.
The program’s blend of theory and real-world practice has prepared our students for internships and careers at media organizations including The Daily Show on Comedy Central, ESPN, WTAE, KDKA, the Pittsburgh Steelers and more. You’ll graduate prepared for careers in radio, television, news production, and other emerging media fields.
