Major code AA5013
Ohio University–Zanesville, Ohio University–Southern, and Ohio University–Lancaster offer a two-year program of study leading to an Associate in Applied Science in electronic media. The program is founded on the belief that through intensive individualized instruction in a hands-on atmosphere, you can prepare in only two years for a beginning position in the electronic media (radio or TV stations, cable TV, corporate communications, or multimedia production houses).
Along with those who want a production-intensive education, high school graduates who wish further preparation in order to begin their college careers in the School of Telecommunications on the Athens campus can benefit from the associate’s program. The program presents you with the opportunity to sharpen your skills before relocating to the School of Telecommunications on the Athens campus. More than 90 percent of those students who complete the associate’s degree and then relocate to Athens secure a bachelor’s degree. (A 3.0 GPA is expected for relocation to Athens.) Others may wish to pursue the Bachelors of Technical and Applied Studies or Communication Studies degrees on the regional campuses, or may move immediately into communications positions.
The radio-TV studios feature multitrack audio recording, radio operations, and computerized video editing equipment. The hands-on facilities, broadly based curriculum, and small classes, have proven invaluable for students who want to obtain a full view of the field of electronic media. Recent graduates are now working throughout the United States in the communication industry.
