Studio production courses are complemented with field production coursework. Used for instruction are an electronic newsroom, a 100,000-watt FM radio station affiliated with National Public Radio, a student-operated FM station, a cable television channel, two TV studios, postproduction rooms, and a 40-foot, high-definition mobile production lab. Students are encouraged to complete their education with internships in professional settings.
