Radio Broadcasting CertificateCert (CERB)

Digital technology and changes in governmental regulation of commerical radio have launched a revolution in the U.S. broadcasting industry. Today's broadcast professionals rely on computer skills to create programming, record and edit audio and gather and report news. Hands-on learning begins during the first week. By the fifth week, students are prepared to work on-air at WGFR, the College's FM radio station. Through course work, supervised work experience and co-curricular activities, students develop broadcast writing and production skills, as well as a theoretical understanding of the mass media and broadcast programming philosophies. Graduates seek entry-level employment at radio stations throughout the region. Students may transfer credits into a comparable two-year degree program. Recommended High School Preparation: Speech, Computer and English Writing-related courses.
