» Program Overview

Visual and audio media are more ubiquitous than ever; we live in a world with an incredible appetite for constant information and an unending stream of new digital content. The people who create this world for us represent a dynamic blend of artist and technician, supplying a creative industry with vital imagination and technical know-how.

Media Communication specialists fulfill vital on-air and behind the scenes responsibilities for television, radio, and digital media. They are well-versed in broadcasting, post-production, and digital marketing, and can function successfully in the commercial as well as the creative aspects of their field.

 

Why LTU?
  • One-on-one mentoring from an award-winning team of producers and writers dedicated to experiential learning and proactive career placement, whose expert knowledge of the industry will help you secure valuable internships and launch a successful career.
  • Access to the most up-to-date industry-standard broadcast equipment and editing software. • All Media Communications students receive a MacBook Pro laptop for their academic use, loaded with Adobe software to help prepare them for careers in digital media.
  • The opportunity to intern (even during Freshman year) with the Emmy award-winning STATE CHAMPS! NETWORK, developing critical on-camera and off-camera sports broadcasting skills.
