What Can I do with a Major in
Radio/TV?
The radio-television program is designed to prepare students for a professional career in
electronic communication. Courses provide a balance between creative work and theory.
Classroom assignments emphasize hands-on experience through participation in both audio and
video laboratories. The radio-television labs are equipped with computer, studio and field
production technology, including facilities for digital and non-linear editing. Coursework is
enhanced by experience gained at SFA-TV 2 and KSAU-90.1 FM. These two stations produce
programming that is distributed to the public by cable and over-the-air channels.
