Program of Study

 

While the 39/54-hour program includes the professional and practical elements necessary for success in the field, good professionals do more than just produce content, but also continually strive to master a primary content area.  As a result, a B.A. in Broadcasting requires students to select at least one content emphasis as part of their education. 

 

• In the Public Affairs Emphasis, students select 15 hours of coursework from areas including public policy, politics, foreign affairs, crime, history, and global issues.

 

• In the Sports Reporting Emphasis, students select 15 hours of coursework from areas including sports psychology, history, ethics, sociology, and 

officiating.

 

• In the Custom Emphasis, students choose from a minor or second major with the help of a major field adviser.
