Broadcast
The broadcast sequence has historically been a popular option for communication majors, with broadcast students benefiting from the presence of a local television station (TV-24) that shares facilities with the university within Self Hall. Students gain practical experience serving on the campus radio station (92 WLJS) or for the university's Television Services department. Professor Jerry Chandler advises and teaches many of the courses offered to complete this sequence.
