Description

We are one of the nation's oldest departments preparing students for careers in television and radio, with fully equipped audio and video studios and state-of-the art editing and field production equipment.  We also offer new specializations in fiction film production and documentary studies, and are a partner in the exciting new Michigan Creative Film Alliance.

With the explosion in new media platforms, learning how to create compelling media content is more important than ever.  Our students have the nation's longest running cable television program in "The Show" and their work is shown on many cable and public television outlets as well as at film festivals and in online platforms.  At the bottom of our home page, you'll find links to YouTube and Vimeo where student work is showcased, as well as to Spartan TV, an online streaming video station managed by our students.  We also manage IMPACT 89 FM, the winner of the Michigan Association of Broadcaster's college radio station of the year award for the last ten years.
